Kane & Lynch 2 to get online co-op

More details of sequel begin to emerge.

The next instalment in the Kane & Lynch series will feature an online co-op mode, along with the offline co-op and competitive online modes of the first game.

As reported by Kotaku, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will see you playing as our nutty old friend Lynch. He's roaming around the seedy underbelly of Shanghai as he tries to make a big fat deal with dodgy characters.

New features will include the option to crawl away or shoot from a prone position if you take a bullet, so it's not all over the first time you're hit.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is in development for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and slated for a Q2 2010 release.
