Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a game in development by IO Interactive for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. It is described as "a co-op action game depicting a violent and chaotic journey of two men - a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath – and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong. Now, they must partner up as a mess of cash makes for hell on Earth."

Initial encounter:
.
The two men meet on a transport to death row. Lynch tells Kane to cover his head, the transport is violently ambushed and crashes. What at first seems like a rescue attempt is, in fact, a kidnapping. Apparently, four members of The Seven who survived the disastrous retirement job, have come back to square things with Kane. They show Kane that he must listen to them by breaking his nose (hence the plaster-cast he sports) and then they offer him a deal: they'll only kill him and spare his wife and daughter if he returns the money. Kane accepts the deal. Lynch is tasked with watching over Kane by the mercenaries; Kane and Lynch have to work together to regain the fortune, so that Kane's family may survive.

Gameplay:
.
The player will take the role of Kane during the game (Lynch is controlled by the AI, or by a second player in co-op mode)..jpg)
There will be an online multi-player mode, however co-op is limited to offline-only. The plan is to incorporate Kane and Lynch's personalities into the game mechanics. Where Kane is more subtle and employs finesse, Lynch is a loose cannon, and may be liable to up the ante to full combat.
.
There will also be an element of squad-based combat. At times, Kane may control a squad which he can guide using simple instructions. Kane's personality will also play a part here, as he has a reputation for leaving his team behind, initially he will only be able to hire low-life scum, who might not obey his commands. As the game progresses, more professional help will become available.
