Suda 51 working on new project, Killer Is Dead

Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture have announced their next game, Killer Is Dead, expected to land on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year in Japan.

The developer told Famitsu that the game would possess similarities to Killer 7 and No More Heroes but is not directly related to either title.

Players control an executioner who hunts down "S Level" killers and eliminates them with a sword. In other words, it's an assassin game.
