Eidos had previously mentioned Kane and Lynch: Dead Men would be a co-op game for the 360 & PC with “intuitive squad tactics.” The two main characters have come in possession of a huge amount of money, but that of course has consequences…

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a violent and chaotic journey of two men (a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath) and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong. This volatile partnership combined with innovative technologies allow for an unparalleled gaming experience.

“Using state-of-the-art technology, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men delivers a raw and compelling story-driven gaming experience not previously possible on current generation hardware,” said David Bamberger, US Marketing Manager, Eidos, Inc. “The power of the Xbox 360 and Windows allows us to dive deeper into a world of disturbing realism.”

“Eidos is pleased to announce the next hit from the award winning development team at IO Interactive,” said Bill Gardner, President and CEO, Eidos, Inc. “IO’s history of success as a developer assures us that we can look forward to only the highest quality and standards for this new title. IO gives gamers something to look forward to in 2007.”

IO Interactive was established in 1998 and released Hitman: Codename 47 in November 2000. Immensely well received by reviewers and gamers alike, the game re-invented the 3D action game genre with its depth of story and intense gameplay. Since then, IO has developed three sequels to the first Hitman franchise on both current and next-generation consoles as well as for PC, and the developer is responsible for the critically acclaimed game Freedom Fighters.

I wonder if they could’ve made this press release any more vague? I’m guessing Kane & Lynch will be hunted down and the player has to stop that from happening in this third-person shooter. Throw us a bone next time Eidos, we want to know what the Hitman developer can come up with next.
