EA Montreal 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 (details of participating retailers can be found on eastore.com) Army of Two: The 40th Day now will have exclusive access to the game’s all-new multi-player mode, Extraction, at launch. This mode will be unlocked for all other players one month after the game ships.

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 strategise 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 available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP.
