Suda51's patented strain of gore-soaked madness doesn't appear to be losing momentum. Grasshopper Manufacture has released the first trailer for new IP Killer Is Dead, an action game published by Kadokawa Games featuring starkly-lit anime visuals and cyborg sword combos.
We don't know much else about it, other than that it's set in the same universe as Killer 7 and No More Heroes for the Gamecube and Wii, respectively, but is not a direct sequel to either.
"It's not trying to regress into the past," Suda51 told Famitsu in a chat translated by Polygon. "We're trying to make a game that we'd only be able to make right now, at this point in time. The result is seen in our unique high-contrast shading seen in the graphics, as well as the high-speed wrestling-like action."
"It's the story of a man who doesn't show himself much in the public world, but still worms his way into society and mercilessly eliminates the evil dispersed in it," Suda51 added. "It's a personal story, not one that's conscious of the chaos going on in the real world at the moment, but you might get more than a taste of that in the end anyway."
A Western release has yet to be announced. It's out in Japan this summer. Stoked?
