EA has just confirmed a second sequel to 2008’s
Army of Two. Get ready for The Devil’s Cartel.
The two player co-op action is back for the third instalment in the
Army of TWOseries. From
Visceral Games, the makers of
Dead Space, comes
Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel – a reset for the series aimed at an even gritter tone.
Players will take on the role of two new soldiers – Alpha and Bravo – who work for a private military film called Tactical Worldwide Operations and get themselves stuck in the middle of a drug war in Mexico. And then, things get even more complicated.
“We wanted to refresh the Army of TWO franchise for a new generation of action gamers, and at the same time, stay true to the core concept that really made the first two games fan favourites,” said
Julian Beak, Executive Producer,
Visceral Games. “With meaningful, seamless co-op gameplay at its core and explosive new tag-team features, gamers will have to work together tactically and strategically as they push through a city dominated by one of Mexico’s deadliest drug cartels.”
Steve Papoutsis, General Manager of
Visceral Games, added, “Our goal with
Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel is to apply our key design principles – immersive, challenging gameplay, intense narrative and focus on quality – to help improve a franchise we feel has always had a lot of potential.”
Featuring both online and split-screen co-op,
Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel gives players the chance to distinguish themselves from their friends by providing a deeper and more advanced upgrade and customization system. From the mask that protects them in battle to the very weapons that keep them alive, players can customize their own Alpha and Bravo to create the deadliest mercenary team as they see fit.
The Devil’s Cartel is set for a March 2013 release on PS3 and Xbox 360. We’ll have more soon and you can keep up to date on the official site.
