Good news for gamers in Asia who are eagerly anticipating their copy of Kadokawa Games and Grasshopper Manufacture’s stylish, super-sexy action title Killer is Dead: We’re getting it here on August 1.
That’s the same day as our friends in Japan will be getting it, and a good couple of weeks ahead of our counterparts in the US (August 27) and Europe (August 30).
Time to celebrate? Hell yeah. (More info on Killer is Dead here at SGCafe through this link)
But wait, there’s more: Killer is Dead also happens to be a dual-language release, meaning players will be able to switch interchangeably between English and Japanese for both voices and subtitles. This applies not just to the Japanese and Asian versions of the game, but also the copies that will be sold in the US and Europe.
So, not only are we getting Killer is Dead on the same day as Japan, but the game itself will also be completely localised in English. That doesn’t happen very often!
English voices
Japanese voices
Chinese subtitled version
On top of the Japanese/English dual-language release on August 1, Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong will also release a Chinese edition of the game that features English and Japanese voices, and subtitles in all three aforementioned languages.
This Chinese/English/Japanese edition will launch in Asia on September 1.
Killer is Dead pre-order bonuses in Asia
