Electronic Arts has announced that the follow up Army of Two, titled The 40th Day, will be released on January 12, 2010 in North America and January 8, 2010 in Europe.

Start off 2010 with a bang! EA Montreal, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced ARMY OF TWO™: THE 40th DAY will ship on January 12, 2010 in North America and January 8, 2010 in Europe. The sequel to the 2008 multi-platinum co-op shooter sees the return of the ultimate two-man private military team, Salem and Rios. Trapped in the middle of Shanghai as it falls under attack, the two must work as a team to survive relentless enemy assaults and escape the city collapsing around them. Gamers who pre-order* ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY now will have exclusive access to the game’s all-new explosive multi-player mode, ‘Extraction,’ at launch. This mode will be unlocked for all other players one month after the game ships.

ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY features a more robust and redesigned multiplayer experience with four unique multiplayer modes including ‘Extraction’. ‘Extraction’ 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.

They should release it on Feb 9th 2010.
Atleast it will be on the 40th day of the year, which makes some sense...

Oh well!

I'm actually looking very much forward to this. I thought the first game was surprisingly fun, especially in coop.

I played with one of my friends, can't remember which level though. I ran to the left to attract attention of some guy, standing behind cover (you know, the full-body cover, with a little crack, so you could look out) shooting at me. The point was my friend would run to the right and take him out. But when I got shot down, my friend hurried over to me, in panic, before he shot the guy. As he was pulling me to safety, he was being gunned down by the same guy i got gunned down by. Just as his health was about to run out I emptied my gun and in the last shot, I hit the guy right between the eyes, through that little crack in the cover.

Very intense game, with some good laughs.

The first game was great, a lot of fun to play in co-op, and its looking like this one will continue that.

I'll definitely grab this day 1.
