In fact, in a 2021 interview, Suda confirmed that Grasshopper owned the rights to Shadows of the Damned and that his return was possible.

“There are several intellectual properties that we have the rights to, so we are free to do what we want with them,” he said. “The intellectual properties to which we have the rights are the series Silver Case, flowers, Sun, andRain, Killer is Dead and Shadows of the Damned. “Although I have no current plans or anything in the works, if I were to revisit some of our past titles, it would probably be one of these.”
