Shank 2 Stabs Us All On February 7

January 19, 2012

Apparently, the virtual Mexicutioner still holds a grudge.

Electronic Arts and independent game developer Klei Entertainment have announced the release date for their upcoming sequel and 2D beat-'em-up (with knives), Shank 2, to be February 7th. It will be available for $9.99 USD on PSN and PC. On February 8th, it will appear on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN Europe.

Along with tighter controls and additional combos, Shank 2 will feature the brand-new Survival Mode, in which players can combine their forces to take down "hordes of goons in an action-pakced, arcade-style brawl". And all of it should be animated with the same brilliance that gave the first title IGF's Excellence in Visual Arts.
