Copyright Eidos plc Press Release
[ July 27th 2006 ]
Eidos
Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software, today
released the first details of its intense action
title Kane and
Lynch: Dead Men.
Currently
in development by IO Interactive, the team behind
the Hitman franchise, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men
will be released in 2007 initially for the Xbox
360T video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft and Windows.
"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."
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 360T and Windows allows us to dive deeper
into a world of disturbing realism."
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.
IO Interactive's
latest game in the Hitman series - the chart-topping
and award-winning Hitman: Blood Money has been
a huge international retail success. This amazing
and genre-establishing franchise has established
IO as a leader in the video game industry.
