We are looking forward to the upcoming release of KILLER IS DEAD with a special art book, soundtrack CD and bonus DLC. Fans have been very supportive, which we’re extremely grateful for, so everyone who has pre-ordered the game or buys it at launch will get a deluxe version for no extra charge.
Distribution in PAL regions is set to be handled by Deep Silver. For my readers in Australia this will be distributed by All Interactive Entertainment alongside Deep Silver. The PAL region release date is set as the 29th August 2013 at a price of $89.95 for the Fan Edition.
