Rumor: New Army of Two game titled 'The 40th Day'

The next Army of Two game will be titled Army of Two: The 40th Day, if Joystiq's source is to be believed. EA couldn't have gone with Army of Two 2, after all.

The game is rumored to take place in Shanghai, where a network of private military corporations are seeking to take over, under the rule of a leader with secret intentions. Rios and Salem return, and they've been "reluctantly dragged into the conflict without complete knowledge of the situation."

All of the following information has yet to be confirmed.

* The game will feature moral decisions, a deeper weapons customization system, multiple endings, and even a few followers
* Multiplayer will be outsourced yet again
* On the technical side: The 40th Day adds Beast lighting and Fracture, as well as an improved networking system
* Environmental interaction: some weapons will be capable of tearing through thin walls and obstacles in the game, and new AI scripts will improve your partner's realism (e.g., peeking through windows, taking out enemies silently, etc.)
* EA will be tossing civilians into the mix, which you can use as meat human shields
