Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi “Suda 51” Suda has revealed that the studio plans to create three original IP over the next ten years. Suda hopes that at least one of those IPs is based on a Marvel property.
Speaking to IGN Japan (translation via Gematsu), Suda said that he’s already working on five different projects at the moment so the new IP will be developed and launched one at a time.
“Over the next 10 years, we have three original IP that we’re going to be creating – it’s a 10-year plan,” said Suda. “Of course there are other things coming beyond those, but I have five projects that I currently have to work on, so we’re going to launch the new IP one title at a time.”
Speaking of his desire to work on a Marvel property, Suda added:
I would also like to do something based on a Marvel property. Maybe a movie with Shatterstar as the main character – well, there’s also Deadpool, but maybe a more [Grasshopper Manufacture]-like character? Shatterstar should be good then. Or how about my personal favorite, Quicksilver, as the main character – or Shatterstar? That would be fun, yeah? Or, hmm, maybe Venom would also be good? I really want to try my hand at a Marvel property one day.
Nonetheless, for us here at Grasshopper, I want to strengthen our original IP, and offer our fans new games to play. So please look forward to them. First, we’ll focus on making these three games over the next 10 years.
Suda recently announced that his No More Heroes series has come to an end.
