MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Grab a friend, cross the border and take the war on drugs head on when
Visceral Games™, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, launches Army
of TWO™ The Devil's Cartel in North America on March 26, 2013 (29
March 2013 in Europe). Powered by the award-winning Frostbite™ 2 engine
from DICE, Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel features intense
co-operative gameplay where teamwork is needed for success and survival
against a relentless Cartel lord. To help equip players for this intense
operation, Visceral Games is rewarding fans who pre-order the game with
the exclusive Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel Overkill Edition,
which includes three bonus Contracts!
"With Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel we wanted to take the
series in a new direction while also leveraging the aspects that made
the first two Army of TWO games unique," said Julian Beak,
Executive Producer, Visceral Games. "We knew coming out of the gate that
meaningful co-op gameplay, customization and over-the-top action would
be key pillars for us, and we're bringing these elements to the next
level by presenting them in a setting that is more serious in order to
dial up the intensity."
Surviving against a dangerous enemy with everything to lose is a
daunting task, so Visceral Games is giving fans who pre-order the Army
of TWO The Devil's Cartel Overkill Edition the advantage of
additional guns and outfits, right when they start the game. The Overkill
Edition includes:
-
Early Access to Three "Overkillers" Contracts: Unleash massive
destruction with three Contract variations designed for maximum
rampage! Players must kill enemies and cause environment destruction
to earn enough points to continuously stay in Overkill while making
their way to the extraction point.
-
Tactical Co-op Gear: Lay down sustained cover fire with the
TAH-9 side arm while decked out in the polymer textured outfit and
mask or wield the Double D automatic shotgun while battling in the
intimidating Overkill mask and outfit.
-
Celebrate the Day of the Dead: Bust out the Day of the Dead
themed assault rifle and take on Mexico's most ruthless drug lords in
Day of the Dead themed outfit and masks designed by popular tattoo
artists.
Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel re-sets the series that pioneered
the co-op experience, balancing the over-the-top blockbuster action the
franchise is known for with a narrative tone that is more intense and
mature. Players will find themselves on the deadly streets of Mexico as
Alpha and Bravo, two operatives working for a Private Military Contract
outfit called Tactical Worldwide Operations (T.W.O.). The pair will come
face-to-face with a violent, bloodthirsty drug lord and must fight to
protect an unwavering political figure determined to take him down. With
the ability to unleash Overkill and harness the power of ultimate
destruction, players will work together as their objectives unravel,
allegiances begin to blur and their lives hang in the balance.
Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel will be available on March 26,
2013 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox
360® video game and entertainment system. This product has not yet been
