Deadly Premonition getting Director’s Cut re-release in early 2013

Rising Star Games has announced Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut, which will be released in the West in Q1 2013.

The update – which is exclusive to PS3 – will include new controls specifically aimed at improving the combat and new content including a new scenario by the game’s makers.

"Love it or hate it, Deadly Premonition has been a phenomenon; ‘cult’ does not begin to do its success justice," Rising Star Games president Martin Defries stated.

"With the enhancements Swery and his team are making to this new PS3 version, I am delighted to confirm Rising Star Games’ involvement with this fantastic game that should engage fans new and old alike."

The game’s director Hidetaka ‘Swery’ Suehiro added: "I’m very happy Rising Star Games gave me the chance to work on Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut. It’s been a while since Deadly Premonition was released, but I’m still receiving so many messages of support from fans around the world.

I’m writing some exciting new scenarios and adding some new features. All will be revealed over the coming months and I’m confident I can deliver an unforgettable experience for you all."
