Goichi Suda and Hidetaka Suehiro have revealed the first Hotel Barcelona gameplay.
No More Heroes creator Suda (who often goes by the name Suda51) and Deadly Premonition creator Suehiro (often known as Swery65) first announced in 2019 that they wanted to make a horror game called Hotel Barcelona.
Hotel Barcelona is a 2.5D action game which parodies slasher films, written and directed by Suehiro from an original idea by Suda51. It will be released for Xbox Series X/S in 2024.
The trailer below, which reveals the first gameplay footage of the title since its announcement, premiered during Xbox’s Tokyo Game Show broadcast on Thursday.

“Hotel Barcelona, the place where all the action takes place, is an integrated leisure complex, featuring facilities such as a casino and camping ground around the hotel to create a single, living world with seven smaller worlds inside,” Suehiro told Xbox Wire.
“Due to the fact that Suda-san and I are making the game, the worlds each have some twisted tricks, and each of them has a serial killer boss. The objective of the game is to somehow defeat the boss, and clear the seven worlds.”
He also said the bosses in the game are not a tribute to any single movie character.
“They’re more like an embodiment of a subgenre of horror films. For example, there are many subgenres of horror, such as slasher movies, zombie horror, summer camps, babysitters, and so on. We came up with the idea of our bosses through the tropes that each subgenre has built up over their time.”

Dragon's Dogma 2 sticks with the Dark Arisen template to a pleasant but almost surprising degree. Sequels often walk a fine balancing act as significant departures can alienate existing fans, whereas repeating the established gameplay often feels too safe. Capcom's anticipated sequel easily falls into the latter category but when the original action RPG still feels refreshingly original, we'd argue that's not a bad thing. Following a recent preview, we're excited to see more.
No one really talks about Bandai Namco, but the publisher’s doing a bang-up job. Last year it released Elden Ring, which not only proved a critical darling but also a break-out commercial hit. The action RPG ended up becoming a cultural touchstone for 2022, and it helped underline a really impressive run for the Pac-Man maker.
Bandai Namco hosted a huge Tekken 8 presentation at Tokyo Game Show, which basically gives us an overview of the entire game. It features gameplay footage from the story mode — which sees Jin and Kazuya duke it out over the fate of the world — full-blown matches from the latest build, and information on loads of different game modes, like the single-player Arcade Quest, Super Ghost Battle, and, of course, Tekken Ball.
After Project Mugen's announcement trailer hit last month at Gamescom, many were quick to draw parallels between the high-flying movements of its main characters and that of Marvel's Spider-Man.

is a gory onslaught of classic horror-inspired enemies. The newly-announced side-scrolling Soulslite is the newest game from both Hidetaka «SWERY» Suehiro and Goichi «Suda51» Suda, two developers who specialize in delightfully devilish, off-kilter games that wear their inspirations on their sleeves. SWERY's and its sequel comprise a duology of pastiche, featuring small-town murder mysteries, eccentric detectives, and old ladies with fortunetelling pots. Suda's series stars the gamer-turned-assassin Travis Touchdown, who's been known to debate the merits of with his targets before finishing them off.
