Suda51 says found-footage horror Michigan: Report From Hell has been “something that I’ve been wanting to go back to for a while”

Goichi “Suda51” Suda would love to bring back the found-footage survival-horror game Michigan: Report from Hell, either as a sequel or a remake.

The original, released in Japan in 2004 as Michigan, was not released in the US, although a dubbed version was released in Europe the following year, with the “Report from Hell” added to the PAL title.

In an interview with VGC, Suda was asked if the age of social media had ever given the producer pause to reconsider bringing Michigan to a new audience, to which he replied, “hopefully sooner rather than later”.

“As far as Michigan goes, that’s something that I would definitely like to revisit or bring back in some form at some time,” Suda said, who was reportedly inspired by Stephen King’s The Mist.

“And so if possible, I hope I’ll be able to speak with Spike Chunsoft and make it a reality somehow, hopefully sooner rather than later. But yeah, that’s something that I’ve been wanting to go back to for a while.”

Hotel Barcelona, the side-scrolling slasher movie parody from Suda51 and Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, was delayed from 2024 to September 2025 so developer White Owls could “keep polishing it and making it better”. It’s currently sitting on a ‘Mixed’ Steam user score.
