Grasshopper Manufacture have released an English version of the Killer is Dead debut trailer.

In addition to showing off the game’s sleek, sexy cel-shaded aesthetic, it also teases some of the title’s plot, which seems to revolve around transhumanism/cybernetics/attaining immortality through the use of cybernetics.

Killer is Dead launches in Japan this summer for Xbox 360 and PS3. XSeed will be handling publisher responsibilities for North America, and Deep Silver will be publishing the title in Europe. No word yet on when the game will release outside of Japan.

Here’s the English version of the debut trailer:
