Kane and Lynch, the original's deranged criminals, are back, but this time around IO Interactive General Manager Niels Jorgensen said they will appear quite different, and he's not talking about their outfits. Dog Days will be a visually different game inspired by documentary films and YouTube videos, with "every move and shift of the camera capturing the mayhem in an unscripted style."
"We believe the unique visuals and relentless gameplay has created an intensity never delivered in a videogame before," Jorgensen said in a statement. "In a genre where so many games look and feel the same, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will make people double-take. We think it's going to make quite an impression."
The game will also offer new multiplayer modes, including Undercover Cop, Cops & Robbers, and Arcade to go along with the existing Fragile Alliance mode.
After its North American release on August 24, Kane & Lynch 2 will ship worldwide on August 27.
Sharkey says: Love them or hate them, Kane and Lynch are back. The new visual approach sounds intriguing, but it will take more than a shaky-cam to make it a "buy" for me. On another note, according to IMDB, Kane & Lynch the movie, starring Bruce Willis as Kane, is in pre-production.
