Its pretty clear that when you ask "What's Criterion workin' on?" your answer will be "Burnout Paradise DLC"... but a while ago they put out a cultish favorite gun game called Black, and soon after Black 2 was mentioned in a conference call. That was the last we had heard of anythin regarding a sequel to Black... UNTIL NOW! Grantted the source is an unproven blog, but hey, at least fans now have a glimmer of something.

"Well over on Criterion games website a listing has been noticed stating a game for release in 2009 known as Black: Second Mission which stands a very good chance of being Black's sequel.

This game is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Although this is yet to be confirmed or denied by Criterion is stands a good chance of being real seeing as it was posted on their own site.

More details as they come.

I've only just came back to this post to find comments asking for a source however when I went back to the Criterion website the listing had been removed. So as it goes this is still firmly just a rumor. Hopefully Criterion will make an announcement of some kind soon.

As a result of this I would like to apologize to all those who are looking for a source as of now there is no longer one."

"Black: Second Mission" -- horrible name.

"2Black"?
"White"?

Aside from its reputation as being "Gun Porn", Black had great graphics and equally great sound design in both its music and sound effects. Experiencing each of the missions is what made the game for me; Graznei Bridge has become a longtime favorite that I end up replaying every so often.

If you could look past its lack of Multiplayer, the handful of eight somewhat lengthy missions, and the low replay value (now play these missions again on a higher difficulty!), you could still have plenty of fun with Black.

So I'd love to see a sequel to it. Criterion Games has to, with that cliffhanger ending the original had. The one thing they need to focus on is including competent Multiplayer this time — a Black 2 would not get by with a solid Single Player campaign alone.

Black 2: None Blacker. I would buy that in an instant.

I liked Black for its gungasmness. Sign me up for a high resolution gun-errtica sequel.
