Rumor: Army of Two 'The 40th Day' to be Announced March 14th

Yesterday, we held back a rumor about the fabled Army of Two sequel currently being developed. EA Montreal had posted a splash screen and absently included spoilers in the source file names. "Army of Two: TFD" was deduced by snopping gamers.

Today, a few details come from an anonymous tip at Joystiq...so as neat as this info is, take it with the usual grain of salt.

  • The game takes place in Shanghai, where a network of PMCs are looking to take over, under the rule of a leader with a hidden purpose
  • Rios and Salem are back, however they've been reluctantly dragged into the conflict and don't have the full story
  • The game will feature moral decisions, a deeper weapons customization system, multiple endings, and even a few followers
  • Multiplayer will be outsourced yet again
  • On the technical side: The 40th Day adds Beast lighting and Fracture, as well as an improved networking system
  • Environmental interaction: some weapons will be capable of tearing through thin walls and obstacles in the game; and new AI scripts will improve your partner's realism (e.g., peeking through windows, taking out enemies silently, etc.)
  • EA will be tossing civilians into the mix, which you can use as human shields
  • 1st map is the introduction
  • 2nd map is the invasion; with Rios and Salem escaping from a crumbling building
  • 3rd map takes place in a zoo
  • 4th map takes Rios and Salem to a hospital
