Official Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 details

1 Comments

The first official Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 details have arrived, including an 'early 2011' release date on PSN and XBLA.

The sequel sees protagonist Nathan Spencer taking on a new enemy, General Sabio, a "technologically sophisticated" baddie who's on the brink of launching a deadly missile attack.

Spencer will use an array of new tricks to defeat the General, including his Bionic Arm - which can now be upgraded and enhanced throughout the game - and the new ability to actually jump, which should hugely change the feel of the game.

The Rearmed 2 team is comprised of the same composer who did the original, Massive Block - best known for work on inFamous and God of War III - doing the cut-scenes and Swedish developer Fat Shark making the actual game.
