Here's another wacky title from Grasshopper Manufacture.

Killer is Dead announced for North America and Europe

Killer is Dead will come to North America by the publishing hand of XSEED Games and to Europe and Australia by Koch Media label Deep Silver, Japanese publisher Kadokawa Games has announced.

Killer is Dead is created by Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio behind Lollipop Chainsaw and Killer7. It is due for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer.

Set in a not-so-distant future similar to our own world, the game puts players in control of an executioner named Mondo Zappa, who executes criminals around the world with a Japanese sword in his right hand and an artificial left arm with changing weapons.

Suda 51's barmy action title Killer is Dead coming to PC

Suda 51's barmy action title Killer is Dead will jump to PC this May.

Publisher Deep Silver will release the PC version under the title of Killer is Dead - Nightmare Edition, to be sold physically and digitally for $19.99/£19.99.

New to the PC version will be a new difficulty mode, Nightmare, where enemies can only be defeated with Adrenaline Burst, Dodge Burst, and Headshot attacks. You can also wave goodbye to the Final Judgement finisher.

The PC version will also feature the Smooth Operator DLC pack, which is unlocked after the game's third episode, and a theater mode that allows players to rewatch cutscenes with "extended background information" on the game's cast of characters.

Deep Silver did not mention who was handling the PC port, or whether there would be any visual upgrades and improvements.
