That 50 Cent II sighting from EGM yesterday? Yes, it's not a rumor at all. 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand is indeed coming this fall to the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. And we've got the low-down on its first details here.

In an interview with MTV, Vivendi Games producer Aaron Blean gave a glimpse of the Unreal Engine 3-powered Blood in the Sand. Blean was keen to note that this game is not a sequel. No hints yet about the storyline or the setting but Blood in the Sand won't pick up where 50 Cent: Bulletproof left off three years ago.

Blean credits the development team Swordfish Studios for incorporating more gameplay elements besides running and gunning. Among them:

• helicopter shoot-out where 50 Cent will "rain death from above"
• turret gun-equipped Humvee driving experience
• drop-in/drop-out co-op mode
• arcade-style scoring mode which was an unlockable aspect from Bulletproof
  

Tony Yayo, Whoo Kid and Lloyd Banks of G-Unit will also appear as playable characters. More importantly, 50 Cent is all about the music. Blood in the Sand will feature more exclusive 50 Cent music tracks so this game is really something to look forward to.
