SCi Entertainment, which is the parent company of Eidos, has announced that they are planning to bring Kane & Lynch and Crossfire to the PS3. This is a part of SCi Entertainment’s new release policy.
SCi said in a statement:
“The group’s strategy is to release its new titles on next-generation consoles once there is a significant installed base. The board of SCi believes the installed base of PlayStation 3 will reach critical mass in the group’s 2008 financial year. A release of these products simultaneously on all three platforms. Will benefit the long-term revenue potential for these two strong franchises rather than releasing different versions at different times. Kane & Lynch will be sold into a strong retail market at Christmas 2007 and Crossfire launched early in 2008 when the installed base of hardware will have benefited from Christmas purchases.”
Kane & Lynch is being developed by IO Interactive, the same people who developed the Hitman series. Crossfire is being made by Pivotal Games. Both the titles are expected to release in late 2007 before Christmas.
