Lube your fists! EA confirms Army of Two: The 40th Day, for 360, PS3 ... and PSP?

by Christopher Grant { Mar 12th 2009 at 10:05AM }

Looks like our tipster was spot on – EA just confirmed that Salem and Rios are back in EA Montreal's bro-tastic sequel to Army of Two, titled (as expected) Army of Two: The 40th Day. Again, the focus is on co-op (in case it wasn't clear, they use the term six times in this morning's press release) with you and a loved one of your choosing in the roles of "the ultimate two-man private military team." The 40th Day changes the scenery from war-torn wherever to Shanghai, China and – like every buddy cop flick since the Carter administration – Rios and Salem are in "the wrong place" at "the wrong time." Really, it says that.

Perhaps most notably, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are no longer their own army of two; the PSP has been added to the mix. There's not a lot of detail on what that particular version will include; however, with a limited number of buttons compared to its console counterparts, we're hoping the PSP release doesn't do away with the dedicated fist bump button. Without that, what's the point, right? You'll be able to crotch hoist your bros in Army of Two: The 40th Day "this winter."

For more possible details on The 40th Day, check out the rest of the info our tipster dropped on us last week.

Babies shouldn't be playing murder simulators.

MrSpaceCowboy @ Mar 12th 2009 11:20AM

Army of Two isn't a murder simulator.

Now Maxis' SimMurder and Microsoft® Murder Simulator are murder simluators.

As bad as the first game was, my friend and I had a ton of fun with it and are really looking forward to this just so we can laugh at it again.

Here's a fun story: when we first played through it on the second hardest difficulty, it took us about seven hours to do just the last level. When we played through it on the hardest difficulty, the last level took about an hour and a half, and then the final boss glitched and just stood still firing at the floor. It was pretty anticlimactic.

I actually liked Army of Two. Sucked playing by myself tho

BendORZach @ Mar 14th 2009 11:12PM

Yeah I liked it too. I never experienced any problems with the AI either, so I had fun on SinglePlayer, Co-Op, and Multiplayer. This hopefully won't suck.

Pvt. Joker @ Mar 12th 2009 10:29AM

If the first one sucked...how much hope is there for the second?

DjDATZ @ Mar 12th 2009 10:38AM

Argh. the first one was terrible... I'm not getting tricked into getting the second one.

Jack_Jackington @ Mar 12th 2009 11:06AM

ScottG13 @ Mar 12th 2009 11:02AM

I had a great time co-oping through Army of Two. Day one purchase for me and my BRO.

Dirty @ Mar 12th 2009 11:03AM

As much as I enjoyed the first one, Im having just as much fun making fun of it. Bring on the sequel.

Vcize @ Mar 12th 2009 12:01PM

Had a lot of fun playing the first one in co-op. Looking forward to the sequel.

coffins outside the door @ Mar 12th 2009 12:10PM

The first thing I thought of was the fisting scene in Crusin'. :(

euanpetrie @ Mar 12th 2009 12:19PM

they need to merge this with Duke Nukem fever and it would be good

Jeff @ Mar 12th 2009 12:49PM

Duke WOULD fit in with these two pretty well.

John @ Mar 12th 2009 12:51PM

so they rather bring it to the psp than the wii.I would really like to play this in the wii

tmontana213 @ Mar 12th 2009 12:51PM

Army of Two: The 40th Day:

Guaranteed to be gayer than the first! Literally....

WiredKnight @ Mar 12th 2009 5:12PM

Get out.

KiraXD @ Mar 12th 2009 1:35PM

so if they are capable of cross platform multiplayer (ps3/360) why cant they make a game like this capable of cross-platform?

id love to get it for one console... and play with all my friends who got it on the opposite console. (and yes i loved the first one... it was just overthetop fun... FISTPOUND deedeleet, deedeleet, deedeleet.
