Square Enix has officially announced Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, the follow up to Eidos' controversial buddy game.

Kane & Lynch wasn't a bad game at all but it definitely had its issues. The sequel will hopefully correct the issues and give us more of the fun co-op play the original offered. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will put you in the role of the psychopath Lynch this time around. It will take place in Shanghai, where Lynch has found peace. The sequel will offer online co-op play as well as local, like the original. Competitive online will make a return as well. Kotaku reports there are very little details about the gameplay, but they do know that when a player is shot, they will be able to shoot from the prone position or crawl away.

The game was originally teased with a viral video that supposedly showed Lynch running through a Chinese restaurant naked as an attack dog chased him. We then see what looks to be Kane, beating the dog with a lunch tray to rescue Lynch. Square Enix has now released a new video that shows Lynch bashing in a door with a bowling ball and then returning a minute later with blood all over that same ball. It definitely looks like they haven't toned down the violence at all so fans of the original should be happy.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be released in Q2 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. Check out the two viral teaser videos after the break.
