MDK 2 coming to Wii, HD upgrade to PC

MDK 2 coming to Wii, HD upgrade to PC

BioWare's semi-obscure and absurd adventure game MDK 2 (Murder Death Kill) is getting a revival later this year on the Wii and later, PC.

The PC version and its Interplay-developed prequel were re-released on GOG.com years ago, but fans will see it in upgraded HD format on developer Beamdog's digital distribution platform (and hopefully others later). The game should be in good hands as members of the original team are still kicking around there.

“It is a great pleasure to announce that we are returning to the adventures of Kurt Hectic, Dr. Hawkins and the 6-legged gun-toting robotic dog Max,” said Herv Caen, CEO of Interplay.

“MDK2 was a great title to work on and we're happy to have some of the original team working on these new versions,” seconded Trent Oster, co-Founder of Beamdog.

The Wii edition will launch this winter, with the PC version to follow.
