EA Montreal has announced a demo for Army of Two: The 40th Day will be available as a free download on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace on December 17th. The demo will include most of the first level in the game, where the iconic two-man private military team of Salem and Rios find themselves trapped in Shanghai as it falls under attack. A demo for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) will also be available for free on the PlayStation Network in North America on January 7th and in Europe on January 14th.
Army of Two: The 40th Day is the sequel to the 2008 multi-platinum co-op shooter. Players must work as a team to survive relentless enemy assaults and escape the city as it collapses around them. The 40th Day delivers an organic and immersive cooperative adventure with one of the most robust weapon customization systems ever found in a videogame. Players can mix and match weapon parts found in the world and execute strategic two-man tactics that create a one-of-a-kind co-op action experience.
“The 40th Day is non-stop action in an explosive Shanghai. The game has been designed with a focus on co-op gameplay and it has been our goal to refine this core experience in all aspects of the game,” said executive producer Reid Schneider. “The demo will give players the opportunity to experience this evolution and the new co-op moves and tactics available to players at any time in the game.”
Gamers who pre-order Army of Two: The 40th Day will have exclusive access to the game’s all-new explosive bonus multi-player mode, -˜Extraction,’ at launch. This mode will be unlocked for all other players one month after the game ships. Extraction Mode pits a team of four players against a series of unique enemy waves as they move from point to point in the ruined city. Players must strategize as a unified team to combat the different forces of The 40th Day Initiative while trying to get out alive.
Army of Two: The 40th Day will be in stores worldwide on January 13th for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation Portable (PSP). The demo available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles is playable via online co-op or in split screen.
