Suda 51′s Killer is Dead may be heading westward courtesy of XSEED if domain registrations dug by Superannuation are any indication. The domains: killerisdead-game as well as killandlove.com and loveandkill.com were all registered by the publisher. A confirmation for the west has yet to be announced, but, the game is slated for a release in Japan this summer on PS3 and Xbox 360. We’ll send a mail and ask. Killer is Dead was last spring, and featured in the latest issue of Famitsu.

Pandora’s Tower will be released in North America, Xseed has announced after a tease released yesterday. The Ganbarion developed title will be released on Wii during spring 2013. Thanks, Siliconera.

Unchained Blades will release on Nintendo eShop for 3DS on January 3, according to XSEED. The game will run you $29.99. Once it’s released, hopefully the XSEED will get to work on localizing Unchained Blades Exxiv for you. It’s possible. Thanks, Siliconera.

Unchained Blades Exxiv may see localization once XSEED releases the original on 3DS first. The possibility of the game releasing in the west was noted in a response to a fan’s inquiry on Facebook. “We’re still struggling to get the original out on 3DS first,” said the reply. “After that’s finally out the door (hopefully Decemmber), then maybe we can start thinking about the sequel.” Those who own a PSP can get the original on the handheld, as it was released through PSN on June 26. Thanks, D’toid.

The Last Story has been XSEED’s most successful game to date, according to the publisher.
