THIS SUMMER TAKE ON SHANGHAI’S CRIME LORDS IN KANE & LYNCH 2: DOG DAYS™
Street date announced for North America and Europe
COPENHAGEN (March 17, 2010) — IO Interactive, a
part of Square Enix Europe, is pleased to confirm that Kane & Lynch
2: Dog Days™ will release on August 24, 2010 in North America and
August 27 throughout Europe and other PAL territories, on Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.
A raw and brutal crime shooter, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days follows
two disturbed criminals, Lynch – an impulsive and reckless
self-medicated psychopath and Kane – a tactical but disillusioned and
desperate ex-mercenary, through 48 hours of hell.
“We believe the unique visuals and relentless gameplay has created
an intensity never delivered in a videogame before,” said Niels
Jorgensen, general manager of IO Interactive. “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.”
Introducing a new visual experience inspired by documentary
filmmakers and the user-generated era. Players are pulled into the game
world, with every move and shift of the camera capturing the mayhem, in
an unscripted style.
Beyond the stylized look and violent story, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog
Days delivers all-new multiplayer modes as the highly celebrated
Fragile Alliance returns, along with new Undercover Cop, Cops &
Robbers and Arcade modes, with each mode raising the stakes of greed,
betrayal, and revenge.
IO Interactive is proud to share the first in-game footage of Kane
& Lynch 2: Dog Days in a trailer titled ‘Welcome to Shanghai’,
which gives players a peek in to the story and situations Kane and
Lynch will be faced with. An extended version of the trailer can be
found exclusively on the official Web site – www.KaneandLynch.com
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be available for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system and Games for Windows® and will be
released under the EIDOS brand portfolio. All formats will release
in-stores on August 24, 2010 in North America and August 27, 2010 in
