It stands to reason that with a "Kane & Lynch" movie in the works -- potentially starring Bruce Willis -- IO Interactive would want to keep their franchise in motion on game systems. An announcement today indicates that they intend to do just that in 2010 with "Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days" for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The sequel, which IO says will come laden with a "new visual experience," already has a trailer up on KaneandLynch.com and sounds like it will play up violent shock-value scenes just like the series' first installment did.
"Gamers are always looking for something new and that is exactly what they are going to get with 'Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days,'" IO Interactive general manager Niels Jørgensen said in a press release. "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."
The release says the game's new look will be "inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user-generated era," which from the trailer appears to mean scenes will appear as thought they've been shot through grainy consumer-grade security cameras. It also hopes to redefine "intensity" and "realism" in video games.
It looks like more trailers and screenshots will be on their way soon, judging from the blank "Coming Soon" boxes on the "Kane and Lynch" website, though, so I'm sure we'll find out more in the coming months.
