Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days was a very divisive game, some liking its gritty style but others deriding it as short and unoriginal. According to Eidos life president Ian Livingstone, it’s so-so reception by critics and at retail won’t end the franchise.
“We haven’t made any announcements about Kane & Lynch going forward, but we all know that Kane and Lynch are two amazing characters who have a lot of brand equity,” said Livingstone. “People like those guys, so they’re not going to disappear.”
“Kane & Lynch 2 clearly had a Marmite effect on people,” Livingstone added. “You either loved it or hated it. Some people liked the juddering camera, home video style. Others absolutely hated it. Some loved the characters. Some didn’t like the characters, but it’s artistic, thrill-a-minute instant action stuff. I thought it was a great game, but I can understand people might not have liked it.”
