De eerste Army of Two was geweldig, ik denk dan ook dat ik deze game een kleine twintig uit heb gespeeld. Toen kwam er Army of Two: The 40th Day en deze heb ik na één uitspelen nooit meer aangeraakt omdat dit een belediging voor het eerste deel was. Maar Electronic Arts brengt in maart 2013 Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel naar de bekende consoles toe, en daar in bevechten onze deze een Mexicaans drugs cartel. Om je al vast kennis te laten maken met deze titel die door Visceral Games word ontwikkelt, is er bij het persbericht gelijk een developers video toegevoegd.

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced Army of TWOâ„¢ The Devil's Cartel, the gritty third installment to the blockbuster action franchise celebrated for its intense, two player co-operative gameplay. Developed by Visceral Gamesâ„¢, the award-winning creators of Dead Spaceâ„¢, Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel re-sets the series that pioneered the co-op experience with a more intense, mature and grittier tone. Players will find themselves on the deadly streets of Mexico as Alpha and Bravo, two operatives working for Tactical Worldwide Operations (T.W.O.), a PMC outfit that drops them in the middle of a drug war conflict for an assignment full of corruption and deceit. With the ability to unleash the power of ultimate destruction, players will need to work together as their objectives unravel, allegiances begin to blur and they face off against a ruthless opposition.

"We wanted to refresh the Army of TWO franchise for a new generation of action gamers, and at the same time, stay true to the core concept that really made the first two games fan favorites," said Julian Beak, Executive Producer, Visceral Games. "With meaningful, seamless co-op gameplay at its core and explosive new tag-team features, gamers will have to work together tactically and strategically as they push through a city dominated by one of Mexico's deadliest drug cartels."

Steve Papoutsis, General Manager of Visceral Games, added, "Our goal with Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel is to apply our key design principles - immersive, challenging gameplay, intense narrative and focus on quality - to help improve a franchise we feel has always had a lot of potential."

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 providinga 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.

Army of TWO The Devil's Cartel will be available in March 2013 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system.
