Grabbing our attention tonight, Electronic Arts has announced plans to release a launch-day patch for The Godfather II that adds a new multiplayer mode called "Don Control". This new mode brings the singleplayer campaign's "Think Like a Don" strategic gameplay online, with full 16-player support and in-game currency up for grabs. Here's a brief description courtesy of the press release:
Don Control introduces an additional layer of gameplay on top of the four multiplayer modes and six maps already available in the game and invites players to compete to see who is the ultimate Don of D 20af ons. Players can now challenge one another in 16-player battles for their in-game currency from the single-player game. As a Don online, players can recruit others to join their family by giving them a cut of the profits. But if a player loses as Don, the in-game currency they wagered will be removed in their single-player campaign and their empire can come crumbling down.
The Godfather II is scheduled for release in North America on April 7th and in Europe on April 10th. The patch should be ready-to-go when you open your copy. ;)
