Killer is Dead: Nightmare Edition Haunting the PC in May

Killer is Dead, Suda51’s latest violent journey through a surreal world, is breaking away from its console roots and getting a PC release. A suite of new features will be added in the Nightmare Edition of the game, including a new, more punishing difficulty mode.

Deep Silver will be publishing the divisive product that failed to draw too many eyes on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The additional content isn’t exactly robust, but those looking for more to do as slick protagonist Mondo Zappa should be happy with the announcement.

–          New difficulty mode called Nightmare Mode. In this mode, enemies can only be defeated using the following attacks: Adrenaline Burst, Dodge Burst, Headshots, so the gameplay requires far more skill and tactics. Players will not be able to use the Final Judgment finisher (QTE mode) to defeat enemies.

–          Smooth Operator Pack for console will be included and unlocked after Episode 3.

–          Theater Mode – Rewatch cutscenes and get extended background information on characters, helping to unravel the story after your first playthrough.

Killer is Dead: Nightmare Edition will be available at retail and for download May 9 for a reduced price of $19.99.
