Ska Studios has announced release information for The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile. The indie action game is set to hit the Xbox Live Arcade on April 6 for $10 (800 MS Points).

Vampire Smile is a sequel to 2009's Dead Samurai, which made the leap from the Indie Games Channel to a full XBLA release. The sequel adds a new campaign that can be played through as The Dishwasher or his sister Yuki, in single-player or co-op modes, along with new weapons, stereoscopic 3D support, and a new game engine.

Attendees of PAX East this weekend will get a chance to play the final version of Vampire Smile, and Ska will be holding raffles to give out pre-release codes.

  This is about the least informative game title I've seen in a long time.

    Since when are game titles informative? Anyway as always there will be a demo so you can see more then I would think.

      Even if they don't mean anything (simply a name or something) at least it doesn't bring about images of things that appear to have nothing to do with each other. It makes no sense.

    It's a dirty-sketch art styled violent side-scrolling brawler with odd weapons like giant scissors, and you can regain health by draining blood from vulnerable enemies. I enjoyed my time with it at PAX Prime, and the Ska crew were all really nice.

      Interesting, at least we know where the Vampire comes from then.

        As I recall, "The Dishwasher" came from what the primary developer was doing at the time he made the first game, I believe the character was ostensibly a dishwasher prior to the start of the game and had a bit of a kitchen theme to weapons, but I never played that one.
