The Ultimate Two-Man Private Military Team is Back in Action
Delivering New and Groundbreaking Cooperative Gameplay
MONTREAL, Mar 12, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EA Montreal, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS), today
announced ARMY OF TWO(TM): 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(R) videogame and entertainment system, the
PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system and the PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)
Portable) this winter.
