IO Interactive have announced that Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be releasing a week ahead of schedule on the 20th August in Europe and 17th August in the US.

"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," said Niels Jørgensen, general manager of IO Interactive. "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."
