Out now on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is the first set of DLC for Army of Two: The 40th Day. Titled Chapters of Deceit, it adds two new campaign missions for players to experience.
I'm not sure who gets deceived in this content, but I'm pretty sure whoever it, they get shot.
We recently told you about the Chapter of Deceit DLC pack for Army of Two: The 40th Day. This first piece of premium content for the two player co-op titles adds new campaign missions that take place during the main storyline.
The latest developer diary gives us a hint as to what to expect - bigger and badder heavies, unarmed situations, and more await as we're told "Co-Op tactics are necessary to survive." Chapters of Deceit launches April 1st, no price was given yet.
Somebody call the landlord, there's a hole in the floor.
Those of you who follow the Army of Two Twitter account may have noticed a rather exciting announcement this morning: "DLC!!! First look at Chapters of Deceit, coming April 1st." Despite the usual association made with April 1, it seems this no joke and that our co-op heroes from Army of Two: The 40th Day will be back for more action quite soon. From the blog announcement: "Chapters of Deceit features two all-new co-op campaign maps. In the new chapters, players stumble upon information that could lead to ending the invasion by Jonah and his 40th Day Initiative army. However, they quickly learn that everyone is out for themselves and to trust no one but their partner."
No, that is not money burning in the background.
Despite selling 2.9 million copies of Left 4 Dead 2, as well as 2.7 million of Dragon Age: Origins, Electronic Arts posted a loss of 82 million dollars last quarter. Sounds bad, right? Considering the same quarter last year EA lost over 641 million dollars, that's a pretty solid improvement year over year.
It's good to see sales of the four player co-op shooter selling well, despite some misgivings about the timing of a sequel to last year's co-op game of the year. EA is looking to have a solid next quarter and is well on the way there with Mass Effect 2 selling over 2 million copies in its first two weeks alone. Sprinkle in some Army of Two: The 40th Day for good measure and that ship might just be headed in the right direction.

It's time once again for our monthly Xbox Live Co-Op Night, a great chance to beef up your friends list, make new friends, and get those pesky achievements you've been trying to obtain. This month we're playing Army of Two: The 40th Day in both campaign and Extraction modes. Plus - PRIZES!
If you didn't pre-order the Army of Two: The 40th Day, you're probably missing a code to access the four player co-op extraction mode. Don't worry, we have you covered. We're kicking off the latest contest with 30 keys to giveaway to prep for our Xbox Live co-op night next week. Read on to win.
The original Army of Two was marketed to the fans of buddy co-op. In 2009 EA Vancouver promised to vastly improve on the original with Army of Two: The 40th Day. We were impressed with our PAX hands-on and community day visit - did the final game hold up?
If you purchase a copy of Army of Two: The 40th Day - which ships to retailers and some customers today - you'll probably get a couple of EA-sponsored fliers in the game packaging. One is an advertisement for upcoming EA games...the other is for an upcoming Army of Two comic book under the new brand EA Comics.
Promising only that the comic will be "coming soon" and is "intended for mature readers", the above teaser image adorns the in-package flier and serves as a splash page for the website. For now, you can sign up for email updates while you hungrily await more details on the co-op duo's new adventure.

And just when you thought we couldn't bring you any more coverage, we went hands on with Extraction, and talked to the game's lead multiplayer designer.
2 Player co-op campaign, 4 player co-op extraction, and plenty of fist bumps. Don't forget to wear your custom Co-Optimus armor and bring your Rios and Salem action figures. So sit back, relax, and watch this launch trailer - we'll see you online soon.
