They’re back! Series creators IO Interactive are developing Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and it’s set for release next year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Square Enix made the announcement today and stated that it will be published by their Eidos subsidiary in 2010 and promising that they will present a great new experience “inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user-generated era.”
I’m not quite sure what it means, but I’m legitimately excited for a new Kane and Lynch. The series sparked a semi-cult following that seems to have now dried up; but there is definitely a decent amount of remaining interest: there is even a movie in the offing, with Bruce Willis playing the role of Kane.
Here’s the official press release:
More information on the Kane and Lynch 2 is expected to be surfacing in the coming months; stay tuned for more information.
Dog Days is coming to Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC in 2010.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a raw and brutal crime shooter designed to take players on an even more intense story experience, following two of gaming’s most disturbed criminals, through the gritty Shanghai underworld.
Introducing a new visual experience, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user-generated era. Every aspect of the game has been designed to deliver a fresh perspective to the words ‘intensity’ and ‘realism’ in video games.
“Gamers are always looking for something new and that is exactly what they are going to get with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days,” said Niels Jørgensen, general manager of IO Interactive. “A special thanks to gamers worldwide for their feedback. They are certainly in for a shock as we, with immense pride, welcome back our two dear, violent and somewhat unfortunate friends.”
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be released on the EIDOS games label and will be coming in 2010.
