Doubts hung over the series after a recent bout of lay-offs at the studio behind the games Danish crew IO Interactive and a rumoured triple-A cancellation.
Livingstone and Eidos still have confidence in the bad boys though. He told Eurogamer: "We haven't made any announcements about Kane & Lynch going forward, but we all know that Kane and Lynch are two amazing characters who have a lot of brand equity. People like those guys, so they're not going to disappear."
He added: "Kane & Lynch 2 clearly had a Marmite effect on people. You either loved it or hated it. Some people liked the juddering camera, home video style. Others absolutely hated it. Some loved the characters. Some didn't like the characters. But it's artistic, thrill-a-minute instant action stuff. I thought it was a great game, but I can understand people might not have liked it."
