The Ultimate Two-Man Private Military Team is Back in Action Delivering New and Groundbreaking Cooperative Gameplay

Guildford, UK – March 12, 2009 – EA Montreal, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced ARMY OF TWO™: THE 40th DAY. The ultimate two-man private military team of Salem and Rios return in this epic sequel where they must survive and prevail in a city under siege. EA Montreal is once again leading the next evolution in co-op shooter games offering a fresh, innovative and fluid co-op experience with a deep arsenal of customizable weapons so players can team up with their friends online for the fight of their lives.

“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.”

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.

ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY features a bigger playbook of new co-op moves that either player can use at any time, opening up new strategies and countless choices for both players. The result is 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.

ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) this winter.

Army of two must have been the biggest deception i ever bought. The game stands or falls with online connectivity. Me and a friend bought Army of two, and weren't even able to finish the tutorial cause the game kept disconnecting...

So what i think about this expansion? Is anyone actually still playing that failure!!

The first game had an ok co-op campaign but it only took me and a friend 5 hours to complete. It was lucky that we only rented it.

The multiplayer versus mode for army of 2 was an absolute joke. I will need to see major improvements made to multiplayer (like customizable weapons and more game modes) before i will consider buying this new game. If the online is just the same tired stuff we saw in the first game i'll just rent the game or even avoid it all together.

Should be fun! I can't wait!

Although I did finish the first one in 1 Sunday with a friend. Hope the 2nd game's a bit longer...

If the online mutiplayer from the original mess won't be improved, nobody will ever buy this game.

I truly enjoyed army of two (first one) on the xbox and my friends and I had some good games, now I am playing PS3 allot more than XBOX and I can't wait to the the new release, I love the co-op game mode and I love the little jokes between them.

Great game bring on Army of Two 2.
