GungHo Online Entertainment
On 30 January 2013, Grasshopper Manufacture was acquired by GungHo Online Entertainment. Their first title released under GungHo was "Let It Die". In 2018, the company would post a notice of an absorption-type split over issues in management, confirming that new Grasshopper Manufacture, Inc. would now operate independently of GungHo and work on their own intellectual property such as "No More Heroes" under Goichi Suda's management. The old Grasshopper Manufacture, Inc. (currently Supertrick Games) would retain a majority of Grasshopper staff at the time, which would be assigned to work on GungHo-owned IP such as "Let It Die". Grasshopper Manufacture would subsequently downsize to a more indie scaled studio, hosting 20 employees as of 2019.
