Travis learns that the Expiry Drive MK-2 was designed as a machine that would create clones of its users, and that while it was initially intended for space travel, the government had re-purposed it to be a super soldier program - a prospect which acquired Juvenile to sabotage the project in an deed of defiance, and go into hiding. Despite this, the mother auto responsible for its protocols still lays dormant inside the CIA, and Travis is warned that completing all six Death Brawl games volition cause information technology to reboot, allowing the regime to continue developing super soldiers. He is as well alerted that should it be reactivated, Juvenile would destroy the United States in retaliation.

Despite warnings, Travis and Badman successfully complete every Decease Ball; still one of the games - Killer Marathon - turns out to be an incomplete version of the game. As such, when they wish for Bad Girl'south resurrection, she ends upwards being resurrected in the grade of a dog. Travis after ends up locating a prototype for a Death Brawl which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him directly into the CIA. Massacring his way through the facility he locates the Death Drive mother machine which is being guarded by Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the form of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her. He interacts with the female parent car and is transported to Mars, where he meets John Wintertime; the creator of the very original Death Drive and Juvenile'southward mentor. Winter explains that he retired to Mars to escape Earth's problems, and safeguards the planet, opposing the government's plans to emigrate there. He offers Travis the opportunity to stay on Mars and live a perfect life. Travis declines, realizing that he tin't abandon his past, and deciding to face his problems head on. Winter responds past decapitating Travis, as the merely manner for him to return is to "die".

Back on Earth, Travis is approached by his self-proclaimed pupil, Shinobu Jacobs, who asks him to return from hiding to face the assassins. Travis remarks that it's fourth dimension for bloodshed. In a playable postal service-credits segment, Travis is controlled from a 3rd person perspective like to the previous No More Heroes games, set in a default Unreal Engine level. While attempting to arroyo a dummy, Travis berates the player for treating the area like a game, saying that they're currently "in development".

Post-obit the events of the main campaign, Travis and Shinobu are intercepted by Travis' twin brother Henry, who is now part of an enigmatic order with a vendetta against Travis. Travis and Shinobu prepare to boxing against his subordinates before they're interrupted by a pair of villainous alien lucha libre wrestlers aptitude on earth domination, and a cocky-proclaimed super hero named "Notorious". When Travis questions the sudden presence of the new characters, Shinobu wonders whether they are foreshadowing "the next game".

While the console was different from the Wii, information technology offered similar motion-based features through the Joy-Con, and he recognized he could revive No More Heroes for the system. He felt the game would fit in well among the planned Switch titles like The Fable of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.[6]

Suda considered the No More Heroes series every bit "fun slash 'em up kind of games", but with Travis Strikes Once again, he wanted to play around with the history of video games and the thought of retro games, and "how Travis would interact with the individual rules and the private vibe from each game".[12] The six games are new games adult for the title, some in homages to existing indie games, with at least i being a vector scan game.[7] [8] [12] When originally appear, some took Suda's comments to reverberate that the levels would be set within actual indie games similar Hotline Miami, merely Suda after clarified that these games would be featured as "T-shirt collaborations", with Travis able to unlock and vesture clothing items that promote these indie games, a concept he came up with while seeing various game expositions similar PAX West.[thirteen] One such title is Hyper Lite Drifter, with Nintendo of America showcasing Travis's shirt alongside announcing the game's release on the Switch.[14] Suda wanted players to run into Travis as a fan of indie games, not only to give recognition to the indie game scene, but due to his belief that Grasshopper is like to an indie developer, and he wanted to show his support of the up-and-coming smaller studios.[5] He estimated that there will exist at least 15 indie games represented in Travis Strikes Once again, with titles to be revealed as part of the ongoing promotion.[fifteen] The game would also see the addition of t-shirts from The Legend of Zelda: Current of air Waker,[16] The Fable of Zelda: Majora'south Mask [17] and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link [18] that grant Travis a spin attack.

In that location will also be sections of the game that use the standard gameplay approach as the other No More than Heroes titles.[12] One goal of the game for Suda was to have it exist completely playable on a single Joy-Con controller for the Nintendo Switch version, simplifying the controls compared to the second game.[9] Reporters from Eurogamer and Polygon have taken Suda's comments that the game may back up multiplayer, since the Switch supports 2 Joy-Con. Suda was unable to speak on this under confidentiality at PAX West, only did tell reporters who asked about this that there are "two main characters, then depict your ain conclusions, if yous desire".[nine] [xix] [v]

Suda was nowadays for the live consequence, and appeared on stage to bear witness a promotional image of Travis Touchdown wearing a shirt that said "Travis Strikes Again";[23] however, no mention of the No More than Heroes series was made. Suda said in a later interview that this was a purposeful option, equally he wanted the tease to feature Travis himself as the central focus.[12] The game was formally announced every bit Travis Strikes Once again: No More than Heroes in an August 2017 Nintendo Straight, forth with further reveals at the PAX West event a few days subsequently.[12] Suda noted that the title's ordering, placing the series' name afterwards Travis Strikes Once more, was to allude to the fact he does not consider this game a directly sequel but instead "the first of a new adventure, of a new series for Travis" but that however otherwise takes identify in the No More Heroes universe.[9] Suda as well stated that Travis Strikes Again serves equally "something of a stepping rock on the road to No More Heroes 3", and hopes to make a truthful sequel if the game proves successful enough.[24]
