News from Take-Two's quarterly investor conference call has confirmed that there will be a 2 released in August.

The demo will be released on Xbox, and according to Take-Two's Ben Feder.

Feder said: "In August, will launch a comprehensive demo program on Live Marketplace, and the internet that will allow gamers to experience the game up until its launch."

Assuming that all goes to plan the demo will probably be released in the fortnight leading up the Mafia 2's launch on August 24th.

Thanks Joystiq.
