Kane and Lynch: Dead Men may be getting a sequel

Joystiq reports that Eidos has registered a trademark for Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days.

Although Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is destined to be remembered more for the PR fallout known as Gertsmanngate than the game itself as it sold well for Eidos. So it’s no surprise that the game is poised to receive a sequel.

Besides which, you know what they say: There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Go ahead, name another digital crime tale that played to average reviews that will get anywhere near the press coverage this sequel is going to (especially one that nobody has tried to use as a defense for committing a real crime).

The 2007 game did introduce a couple of new characters to the gaming canvas in Kane and Lynch. In an industry rampant with game mascots spitting out their 500th game installment, there’s something to be said for that.

Eidos may have registered the trademark but Kane and Lynch‘s IP now belongs to Square Enix. Square Enix is no doubt looking for marketable properties to get the most bang for its acquisition buck. As long as Kane and Lynch don’t show up in the next Kingdom Hearts, I have no beef with that.
