The previously rumored Army of Two: The 40th Day is now official. As expected, the game will arrive on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Here’s the surprise: The 40th Day will also make the jump to Sony’s handheld device, the PSP.
EA Montreal is once again taking the reigns of the macho, cooperative-focused franchise, promising "a bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience that lets gamers put their best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever they want."
“With Army of Two: The 40th Day, we’re pushing the tactical two-man military team into new battlegrounds offering a completely organic and rich co-op experience to deliver an action-packed co-op shooter this winter,” says Reid Schneider, Executive Producer, EA Montreal. ”As chaos blankets Shanghai, China, you must rely on your partner to survive as you weave through a broken city left devastated in a mysterious wake.”
Rios and Salem return for this latest installment, in which a devastating catastrophe smashes China. The two guns for hire find themselves in the midst of the disaster, at "the wrong place, the wrong time, but the right team."
As they soldier on, the two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day.
Army of Two: The 40th Day will be available "this winter."
