Destroy All Humans! was released in 2005 and while the game was built on a solid idea, it failed to live up to its promise. It had some genuinely funny moments though, and obviously gained enough fans to warrant a sequel. Destroy All Humans! 2 will once again see Crypto attempting to destroy humans on Earth in the 60s.
“Destroy All Humans! illustrates THQ’s commitment to developing innovative and original games, and it accomplished impressive sales success by achieving Greatest Hits and Platinum Hits status less than a year after launch,” said Kelly Flock, executive vice president, Worldwide Publishing, THQ. “Destroy All Humans! 2 builds upon everything people loved about the first game, adds tons of new features and gives fans of the original and newcomers something to get excited about later this year.”
The sequel will feature open-ended gameplay, a new arsenal of weapons, co-op support, and all-new environments to destroy humans in, as well as plenty of the trademark humour found in the first game.
“We are pulling out all the stops for the sequel, adding multiplayer co-op, five new open-worlds to explore and the same irreverent humour that was a hallmark of the first Destroy All Humans! Game,” said Pandemic President Josh Resnick. “With the new 60s era setting, we have plenty of new material to work with – from Hippies and British spy movies to Japanese monster flicks.”
Destroy All Humans! 2 is set to abduct PlayStation 2 and Xbox owners this autumn. Expect to see more on the game at E3 in a few short weeks.
