Square Enix and Eidos dropping Warner Bros. publishing
Although the ink has dried on Square Enix's buyout of Eidos last month, there still remains a few issues to iron out before the handover is complete. One of these issues is the publishing rights of currently scheduled titles. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Mini Ninjas were originally under Warner Bros. Interactive before the takeover and will continue to go under that name; however, all future titles will return in-house.
Kane & Lynch 2 and Just Cause 2 can be counted among those titles donning the Square Enix logos, though thankfully the influence stops there as Eidos will continue to run as an independent company. Don't worry, Kane & Lynch will be androgyny-free.

Oh man...just seeing Kane & Lynch 2 and its plethora of F-bombs and guns-a-blazing and cop shooting with a Square-Enix logo will be funny all its own.

Well, this isn't the first time SE publish a FPS shooting game. Quantum of Solace: the game came out in Japan, SE publish that game.

I checked if the Japanese version had a costume from Final Fantasy as a alternate costume, sad they didn't put it in there. They didn't have any gunblade in there.

"Don't worry, Kane & Lynch will be androgyny-free."
Because you know that's how Square Enix sold 89 million games to people... with androgyny.

Phew, if there's one thing I was wanting to know about, coming into this year's E3.... It was that I absolutely NEEDED to know the fate of Kane and Lynch 2.

Ha, good one.

Kane and Lynch fell flat on its face the first time...if I were SE I'd do a quality-check before green lighting my logo on the box.

Wow, I had hoped that Gerstmann-gate would've killed the odds of ever seeing a "Kane & Lynch" sequel.
