Hector episodes 2 and 3 due this Autumn

Straandlooper's foul-mouthed sleuth returns.

The second and third episodes of not-for-kids crime caper Hector: Badge of Carnage arrive on iOS, Mac and PC this Autumn, publisher Telltale Games has announced.

Part two, titled Senseless Acts of Justice, is apparently already complete and boasts twice as much content as its predecessor.

"Hector: Badge of Carnage Episode 1 - We Negotiate with Terrorists' saw Inspector Hector forced to carry out a terrorist's demands which involved porn shops, fake drugs and donating to charity," commented Richard Morss, MD of developer Straandlooper Animation.

"We have made every effort to ensure Hector sinks even deeper into a pit of inappropriateness as the series unfolds. Episode 2 sees Hector really coming into his own as he plumbs new depths in depravity, degradation and political incorrectness."

The third episode, currently without a title, is being finished up right now and will go on sale shortly after Senseless Acts of Justice.

The first game in the series won a well-deserved 9/10 when it originally launched on iPhone back in June 2010. See our Hector: Badge of Carnage review for details.
