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.
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.
