EA Montreal today announced that Army of Two: The 40th Day is in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP with a release set for this winter.

The two-man private military team of Salem and Rios return and must survive and prevail in a city under siege. The sequel is set in Shanghai, China, where a carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin. Salem and Rios must fight their way through ravaged city districts to uncover the secret of the 40th Day.

“With Army of Two: The 40th Day, we’re pushing the tactical two-man military team into new battlegrounds offering a completely organic and rich co-op experience to deliver an action-packed co-op shooter this winter,” said Reid Schneider, Executive Producer, EA Montreal. “As chaos blankets Shanghai, China, you must rely on your partner to survive as you weave through a broken city left devastated in a mysterious wake.”

The 40th Day promises a bigger playbook of new co-op moves that can be used at any time, which EA Montreal claims will provide players with a “bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience”.

Expect more details soon.
