New From Grasshopper and Suda 51: Killer is Dead
The second game in Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Games' partnership (following Lollipop Chainsaw) has been revealed in this week's Famitsu to be "Killer is Dead."
Suda 51 is directing Killer is Dead, but it's not a sequel to Killer 7.
The game promises to retain the essence of Killer 7 and No More Heroes. It also promises to be a sort of "Dark Side 007" in that it will feature a number of beautiful Bond Girl-like ladies.
On the gameplay side of things, early reports indicate that the game will have sword-play ala No More Heroes, but with new elements.
Killer is Dead will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.

Killer is Dead Detailed
As we reported earlier based off preliminary Famitsu details, Killer is Dead is an original game. It's not a sequel to Killer 7, although it does promise to retain the essence of Suda's past "assassin" games.
The game's main character has a profession known as "Executioner." He goes around the world putting an end to S level criminals.

The key words for the game, said Suda, are "Moon and Earth." The main character will visit a variety of places in order to fight his enemies. These enemies apparently have something to do with the Moon.
Despite the mention of "Moon" as a key word, the game is not science fiction. It's set in an extension of modern times.
Other keywords and themes include "Brilliant Game" and "Love." Love is an important theme for the game, said Suda, because the main character has someone he wants to protect, and he's fighting for this. The idea of "How far can you protect someone" is central to the story.
