News: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is coming to America.

After the success of the quirky, anime-influenced No More Heroes, a sequel was inevitable. Now, that sequel will definitely be coming to America as Ubisoft has announced they will be publishing the Grasshopper-developed No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in early 2010.

The sequel will add more weapons, more bosses and be just plain bigger as Travis attempts to climb the ladder of the United Assassins Association once more:

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle continues the tale of punk anti-hero Travis Touchdown, the Japanese anime Otaku, and pro wrestling-obsessed assassin. Travis finds himself at the bottom of the UAA (United Assassins Association) rankings and must wage war to become the No. 1 assassin once again. The follow-up to the popular No More Heroes will offer fans infectious, fun gameplay that allows you to wield not just one, but two swords and face multiple bosses simultaneously in bigger-than-ever boss battles. The game is created by video game design legend Goichi Suda (Suda 51), developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Marvelous Entertainment.

УUbisoft is excited to bring No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle to North American gamers,Ф said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. УNo More Heroes won countless accolades from both gamers and media alike, making the sequel one of the most anticipated core titles for Wii.Ф

We'll have more soon.
