Our friends over at Talking About Games posted a story that pretty much put the rumor forth that Def Jam ICON 2 was being developed at EA. However, we spoke with someone over at Def Jam, and they assured us that Def Jam ICON 2 was not being developed at this time, which therefore dismisses the supposed screens and videos.

The rumor stemmed from SuperiorVersion, who was tipped of by an anonymous source of theirs – who they say they fully trust – and that not only does ICON 2 exist, but it’s also playable.

As you can tell in the screens and video, the game is a very early beta. Only limited characters and stages are open, and there is basically no cpu ai at all….youl [sic] be able to see that the stages picked can be switched in the game. Load times are horribel [sic] too, but its to be expected from a early beta version.

However, we also fully trust our friends, so sadly, don’t be expecting Def Jam ICON 2 any time soon.
