No More Heroes 2 gets surprise PC update after 4 years

The No More Heroes series is a relatively niche franchise from director ‘Suda51’ of Lollipop Chainsaw fame. Following years spent as a Wii exclusive, the game and its sequels finally landed on PC back in 2021. Unfortunately, these ports were far from perfect. In a surprise announcement however, No More Heroes 2 has gotten a massive patch years on since the last.

Detailing the update on Steam, the team at Xseed officially released a pretty major update for No More Heroes 2. While the first game saw quite a bit of post launch support, the sequel was left with its various issues…until now.

Though these features should’ve been there from launch, this update is welcome nonetheless. With that, the list of changes and additions is as follows:

• Full keyboard and mouse support has been added
• Gamepad rebinding is now supported
• Default controls have been updated for most minigames
• Now compatible with Steam’s Offline Mode
• Achievement unlock bug fixed
• Text prompts and notifications from interactable objects now appear consistently
• General stability fixes and minor Quality of Life improvements

Given that No More Heroes 2 came to PC all the way back in 2021, having to wait 4 years for proper mouse and keyboard support is quite unfortunate. Still, at the very least it’s better late than never.
