50 Cent sequel not dead yet

Swordfish shoots down rumours.

Sources close to Swordfish Studios have gunned down rumours that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand has been cancelled.

The game is close to completion, according to GamesIndustry.biz, and the team is working long hours to squash bugs in time for a Christmas launch.

US blog Kotaku had originally claimed the game had been put to rest and that the UK team developing was to be sold off.

Blood on the Sand - for Xbox 360 and PS3 - aims to improve vastly on 50 Cent: Bulletproof by using a six-pillar foundation for success: gunplay, interactive counter-kills, a G-Unit buddy system, online play, music and the levels featuring driving and flying.
