Syphon Filter 2 in 2000

[11.30.99] » Sony's adventure sequel will likely arrive in the first quarter of next year.

   As first reported at E3, a sequel to Eidetic's sleeper hit Syphon Filter is in the works and now has a release date. The new game -- cleverly titled Syphon Filter 2 -- should arrive in early 2000. Sony Computer Entertainment America, the publisher, is keeping quiet on an exact release date, but its European counterpact SCEE has the game pencilled in for an April 2000 release. As almost all games are released in North America before Europe, it's likely that the U.S. release could come in the first three months of 2000.

   According to videogames.com, Syphon Filter 2 uses the same engine as its predecessor and generally plays quite similar to the original.
