Numbers such as those are difficult to dispute, so it comes with little surprise that Vivendi is prepping an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 follow-up, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Speaking with MTV, Vivendi Games producer Aaron Blean said Blood in the Sand will feature the rapper-turned-media mogul in a "Three Kings meets Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels crime-story" semisequel to the original urban gangster shooter. Though story details are still under wraps, Fiddy will reportedly battle "a cabal of international gangsters on a far-flung, bullet-riddled adventure."
Swordfish Studios (Cold Winter) will be handling development duties for the project, and the development outfit has licensed Epic Games' near-ubiquitous Unreal Engine 3 to aid it in that process. Taking cues from Epic's Gears of War, gamers will primarily be dropped into the shoes of 50 Cent while being accompanied by a second character, with G Unit entourage Tony Yayo, Whoo Kid, and Lloyd Banks thus far named as selectable for the rapper's partner in global defense. As with Gears, co-op play will be available locally or online.
MTV also reports that Blood in the Sand will feature more than just the first game's shoot-'em-up gameplay, as both land- and air-based vehicle missions will be factored into the game. Like Bulletproof, however, the game will feature a variety of promotional media, including exclusive first-looks at videos and movies featuring the oft-perforated artist.
