The Godfather Sequel Gets Release Period

EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed at an annual investors conference that The Godfather 2, the sequel to their book to game adaptation, is expected to be released late this year or sometime early next year.

He stated that the game would be arriving at retailers “a few months” after the November release of Left 4 Dead, though he wouldn’t offer any particular dates.

The series is inspired and based upon the celebrated film trilogy by Francis Ford Coppola, who expertly converted the book into movies. The original game allows players to build up their crime empire and come in contact with characters from the films.

No platforms have been announced for the sequel yet, though PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are a must.
