Soldier of Fortune 3

This morning, Worthplaying.com announced rumors of a sequel to Activision’s Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix. This afternoon, Kotaku got word from Activision that this is more than a rumor. Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back is in development by Cauldron, developer of 2006’s Civil War, as opposed to original creator Raven. According to correspondence received by Kotaku from Activision, the third game in the series “is being published by Activision’s Minneapolis office. We have no further information to share at this point, but hope to very soon.”

Also rumored is that enemy character models will have 36 points of separation allowing for creative dismantling. I have no idea what that means but it sounds awesome. Hopefully more awesome-sounding information will be available soon, but for now we’ll have to listen to rumors and speculation.
