In a somewhat rare press release Square Enix have announced that IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be arriving a week earlier than expected - on August 20 in Europe and August 17 in North America. Stopping short of blaming the move on changes in the lunar trajectory IO's Niels Jørgensen issued the following statement:
"The team has worked hard to deliver a game that's different from the current trend of third-person shooters and we're so pleased to be able to share it with the world ahead of schedule. With development now complete, why keep people waiting any longer? We want to let gamers experience the game we've created and get them online betraying their friends in Fragile Alliance, so we have decided to bring the release date forward by one week."
