Grasshopper’s New Switch 2 Project: What We Know

A new game from Grasshopper Manufacture is still in the works for the Switch 2, according to studio founder Suda51. The project is being developed under a different name than the original release, which has sparked excitement among fans who enjoyed Suda’s earlier titles. The announcement comes after a long period during which the studio had not released new IPs. Many fans hope that this game will bring fresh ideas to the platform and maybe even revive interest in older titles like Killer7, which is still owned by Capcom. Some speculate that Grasshopper could collaborate with Capcom on a new entry in the Killer7 series, but that is purely speculative.Performance has been a sticking point for Suda51’s games. Even on powerful hardware, some titles struggle to run smoothly. The latest game is no exception: reviews note that it runs poorly on the PS5 Pro and a high‑end PC, and even the Steam Deck struggles to maintain 20 frames per second. These issues have led some players to label it a “port” rather than an original release, though the term is debated. Despite these challenges, many gamers remain optimistic. The studio’s reputation for creative storytelling keeps hope alive that the Switch 2 version will offer something unique. Fans are eager to see how the game will adapt to the new console’s capabilities and whether it can overcome past performance problems. The community continues to debate the value of a Switch 2 release, especially given the platform’s mixed reception in the market. Some argue that a strong port could revive interest, while others remain skeptical about technical feasibility.
