New trailer for Killer is Dead surfaces

The world gets a better at Grasshopper Manufacture’s latest project Killer is Dead, and needless to say, the developers manage to make a stupendous first impression. Check it out after the break.

The games is being developed by the same creative team that brought us stand-out titles such as Killer 7 and No More Heroes, which is evident in the game’s Visual flair as you can see for yourselves. Gamers assume the role of an assassin named Mondo Zappa as he scours the world seeking his targets. Although not a direct sequel to Killer 7, Killer is Dead will retain the essence which made its predecessors so memorable.

Gameplay will feature hack ‘n slash sword play married with frantic gunplay, and even some wrestling moves slipped into the mix. Mondo also sports a cybernetic left arm which can transform into various lethal armament that spell death to his foes.

Killer is Dead is currently targeting a summer release for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Stay tuned for more info.
