EA has announced Army of Two: The 40th Day as the 2nd game in the Army of Two franchise. The game will be released this Winter 2009 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PSP.

Salem and Rios return in this epic sequel where they must survive and prevail in a city under siege. The game will feature “fresh, innovative and fluid co-op” with a “deep arsenal of customizable weapons so players can team up with their friends online for the fight of their lives.” The game will feature all new co-op moves that players can use at anytime which will open up “new strategies and countless choices for both players.” The result promises to be a “bigger, better, more organic and more immersive co-op experience” that “lets gamers put their best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever they want.”

Storyline
When a disaster of epic proportions strikes Shanghai, China, Rios and Salem find themselves right in the middle of it all—the wrong place, the wrong time, but the right team. A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day.

“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.”
