EA has today confirmed that The Godfather II, the sequel to the hit video game based on the acclaimed motion picture trilogy, will be released in the UK on February 27, and not the March date announced yesterday.

In The Godfather II players will immerse themselves in a 1960’s organised crime world. As a Don, they will build a crew and grow their family in an effort to become the most powerful mob syndicate in America.

While retaining the action elements of the first The Godfather game, the sequel also introduces strategic gameplay mechanics never before seen in an open-world game. Using the Don’s View, a 3D representation of the player’s criminal empire, players will need to coordinate their strategy, plan hits on rival Made men, attack enemy rackets, and much more.

The Godfather II is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
