For Travis Touchdown’s full story, play No More Heroes, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, then No More Heroes 3. That is both the release order and the narrative order. The official series introduction places Travis Strikes Again after No More Heroes 2 and before No More Heroes 3; its own overview says seven years pass after the second game.

Full story order

  1. No More Heroes — The original introduces Travis Touchdown and his climb through the United Assassins Association rankings. It first released for Wii in 2007.
  2. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle — The direct sequel, first released for Wii in 2010.
  3. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes — This spin-off takes place after the second game. Badman confronts Travis, and the pair are drawn into the Death Drive Mk II video-game world. The official overview specifies that seven years have passed since the events of No More Heroes 2.
  4. No More Heroes 3 — The third numbered entry, released for Nintendo Switch in 2021 and for additional platforms in 2022.

Can you skip Travis Strikes Again?

You can play only the numbered games if you want the mainline sequence: No More Heroes, No More Heroes 2, then No More Heroes 3. But Travis Strikes Again is not a remake or alternate version of the first game; it is a story-continuing spin-off between No More Heroes 2 and 3. Include it for the complete Travis Touchdown chronology.

Check the platform and edition carefully if you are buying a copy. The official No More Heroes 3 page describes the base game as digital-only except on Nintendo Switch. For Travis Strikes Again, the official specifications document a PS4 physical Complete Edition and a Japanese Switch physical package that includes a download code; that Switch package should not be assumed to be a standard game cartridge. Formats and stock may vary by region.
