Bionic Commando will be hitting North American retailers next week, on May 19, and Capcom has released the launch trailer early to whet gamers' appetites.

Surprisingly enough, this trailer doesn't rely on cinematics to sell the game.  Rather, Capcom flashes us with in-game footage, gameplay, and lets the breathtaking musical score set that epic mood.  Then again, no one can accuse the Japanese publisher of neglecting their game soundtracks lately, especially after they hired Bear McCreary to compose for Dark Void.

Bionic Commando is heading to Europe on May 22 and Japan on June 25.  The PC version has also been dated for a summer release.
