After initially being delayed from last year, No More Heroes III officially has a solid release date, with the game expected to launch on Switch on 27 August 2021.

The release date was revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct, which also showcased some of the gameplay we can expect from Travis Touchdown’s latest outing. Here’s the official spiel from Nintendo:

“As the crass, Beam Katana-wielding assassin Travis Touchdown, you’ll fight your way to the top of the Superhero Ranking tournament to save the world. But wait… you’ll also battle aliens?! With a new and improved Death Glove, you’ll have access to a variety of deadly skills that can be customised and upgraded before each match.”

Check out some rather snazzy looking official screenshots below, and you’ll find the trailer at 19:20 in the video beneath them. Be sure to let us know down in the comments if this one’s on your watch list!
