Io's Kane & Lynch revealed

Hitman developer Io Interactive is hard at work on a new PC and Xbox 360 game called Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

Magazine previews are starting to roll out, and our spies in the field tell us it's being handled by the team behind the underrated Freedom Fighters.

Apart from that, we don't know a great deal - other than it's a third-person action game, of sorts, about a mercenary and a psychopath who happen upon a lot of cash, with co-op, squad tactics and online multiplay.

There's no word on a release date at the moment and Io owners Eidos are keeping quiet, but expect further details to turn up in due course.
