Friends Band Together and Get a Sneak Peek at the Highly Anticipated
Action Blockbuster Game Before it Launches March 26
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
When the stakes are high, risk it all by going double or nothing!
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that a downloadable
demo for Army of TWO™ The Devil's Cartel, the next
installment of the franchise celebrated for its dynamic two player
co-operative gameplay and over-the-top blockbuster action, will be
available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace and PlayStation®Network starting on
March 12.
In the demo, players will step into the boots of private military
contractors Alpha and Bravo as they embark on a mission to rescue a
kidnapped politician while diffusing an additional hostage situation.
From the bottom floor of a dangerous drug lab, to the rooftops of a sky
rise, Alpha and Bravo must infiltrate the Cartel's stronghold and
overcome hordes of cartel members, all the while working together to
survive. With the lives of others on the line, the dynamic duo will need
to split up as one player runs into battle face-to-face with their
opposition, while the other takes to the sky in a helicopter to man a
mini gun and provide cover. Complete with epic explosions, massive
destruction and the brand new Overkill feature, gamers will be able to
experience the adrenaline and palm sweating action before the game
launches on March 26.
Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel Overkill Edition is still
available to pre-order at participating retailers. Gamers who reserve
their copy of the game will receive exclusive masks, outfits, a highly
destructive co-op contract mission and deadly weapons, including the
TAH-9. If customers pre-order their copy from GameStop, they will
receive the Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel Hit-Maker's Kit, which
will give gamers the chance to play as characters portrayed by music
megastars Big Boi and B.o.B, along with an additional contract mission
and custom designed gear.
In Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel, players find themselves on the
war-torn streets of Mexico as Alpha and Bravo, two operatives working
for Tactical Worldwide Operations (T.W.O.), fighting for justice against
a dangerous drug cartel. 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.
Launching on March 26, Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel will be
available on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system. This product is rated M
