The Godfather 2 confirmed by head of EA Games
In March of 2006, Electronic Arts released The Godfather, a game based on the classic movie (and the first in a string of mob-related titles that included a Sopranos and Scarface game).
It came out on the the Xbox, PS2 and PC. In September, they ported it to the PSP and Xbox 360. And then, a year later, once the new consoles hit, they would release ANOTHER version. This time both the Wii and PS3 version had unique features. The former was called the “Blackhand Edition” and the latter was called the “Don’s Edition”.
And now, in a complete surprise to no one, EA Games head Frank Gibeau has confirmed that “The Godfather 2″ is in development. This was revealed at a shareholder’s meeting, when he responded to a question about how EA deals with more edgier titles – with the question referencing the way that Disney uses labels such as Miramax as a subdivision for those mature titles, and he answered, “The appeal of those types of games is growing as the demographics start to open up for that older demographic. We make products like Godfather 2, Army Of Two, Crysis – a lot of products that appeal to that older customer.”
No release date, pricing, platforms or other further details were announced but we’ll keep you posted on the title.
