KILLER IS DEAD™: publishing partners

KADOKAWA GAMES, LTD. announced plans for a global release of their highly anticipated action game KILLER IS DEAD™on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

Following LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW, KADOKAWA GAMES has been working together with GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE INC. and executive director SUDA51 on development for this title.

KILLER IS DEAD is expected to launch worldwide in summer 2013 for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360.

KILLER IS DEAD is set in a not-so-distant future similar to (but not the same as) the world we know now. The player takes control of an executioner named Mondo Zappa who wields a Japanese sword in his right hand and brandishes interchangeable weapons in his left artificial arm. His ultimate goal is to execute various heinous criminals scattered around the world and beyond.

Completely unique visuals and outstanding stylish action come together to deliver an unprecedented gaming experience in KILLER IS DEAD. This brand-new action title is being jointly developed by KADOKAWA GAMES and GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, with SUDA51 lending his trademark sense of style at the helm. It will be available worldwide in summer 2013.
