Suda51 Confirmed That Romeo is a Dead Man is Being Created Without Generative AI
Following the release date announcement and trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man, CEO Goichi "Suda51" Suda assured fans that the game will not use materials created with generative AI.
According to the head, given the unique and eccentric style of Grasshopper Manufacture games, current AI would hardly be able to create anything comparable.
To reduce development costs, some expensive 3D cutscenes in the game have been replaced with moving manga panels, and the in-game spaceship segments are rendered in pixel art. All art elements are created manually: the panels were drawn by concept artists Tadayuki Nomar and Ren Yamazaki, and the space segments were created in collaboration with pixel animator Hattori Graphics.
Suda51 also announced that a version for Nintendo Switch 2 is in development. The game was originally announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows (Steam). The release is scheduled for February 11, 2026.
