OPM, the Official PlayStation Magazine, is reporting that Kane & Lynch 2 is in development.
As revealed on the official PlayStation EU forum, the magazine says: “Sci has announced Kane & Lynch 2 is already in development.”
The news came as some surprise to us here at VideoGamer.com, so we thought we’d check with UK publisher Eidos, owned by SCi. We’ve been told we’re getting a response “ASAP”, so you can stay right there on the edge of your seat.
If true, the news won’t come as a surprise. Despite lower-than-expected review scores, the game has sold over a million units since its release in November 2007.
Indeed, in January this year, SCi anticipated that the title will continue to sell well through the remainder of its financial year and that Kane and Lynch will establish itself as another “key franchise for the group”.
As a result of that news, we bashed our heads together and came up with our Top 10: Things that will make Kane & Lynch 2 great, the number one thing being the implementation of a cover system that worked.
Update: An Eidos rep has informed VideoGamer.com that OPM is believed to have based its story on something former SCi CEO Jane Cavanagh told MCV in 2007, prior to the release of the first title.
“We’ve already got Kane & Lynch 2 in production, which just goes to show the belief we have in it as a long-term franchise,” Cavanagh told the trade publication.
