Eidos and IO Interactive have officially announced the long-rumoured Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, a sequel to their 2007 gritty action title starring the titular odd-couple death-row inmates.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a raw and brutal crime shooter, which takes core gamers and entertainment fans on an intense and unforgiving action story, following two of gaming's most authentic and realistic criminals through the gritty Shanghai underworld.

Introducing a new visual experience, Kane & Lynch 2™: Dog Days is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user-generated era. Every aspect of the game has been designed to deliver a fresh perspective to the words ‘intensity’ and ‘realism’ in video games.

The franchise official site has been updated for the new game, but other than a release window of 2010 for PC, XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, there's not a whole lot of info at present. For the time-being, you'll have to make do with these two teaser trailers. Burger Joint and Bowling for Shanghai.

I'm waiting for the final count on how many games reviewers Eidos can get canned this time around. :D

Hoping for Steve Farrelly.

hope all you want
