Visceral Games and Electronic Arts announced that Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel would release in North America on March 26 and on March 29 in Europe.
"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."
The new game is powered by the award-winning Frostbite 2 engine from DICE, and features the series' staple co-operative gameplay. Fans who pre-order the game will receive an exclusive Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel Overkill Edition, which includes three bonus Contracts.
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.
Here is the game's official synopsis:
"T.W.O. has faced some tough enemies, but now you're up against the most vicious cartel in the world. Take part in a T.W.O. operation against La Guadaña (the Scythe), a ruthless criminal organization that holds the people of Mexico in its murderous grip. The cartel rules through fear, violence, and intimidation, killing without remorse and corrupting the government for their own sadistic ends. Only you and your T.W.O. teammate can lead an uprising into the heart of the Devil's Cartel and bring swift, bloody justice to the Mexican people. Failure is not an option when the soul of a nation is at stake."
