That’s right people. After god knows how long, it seems that we finally get to see the sequel in action, but in the form of a trailer.

The Army of Two: The 40th Day trailer shows a more serious and intense side of the game by showing what has happen to the city of Shanghai.

However, the trailer does show one of the games newest features, mock surrender, which is basically when you, or your partner, hinds and one of you go out and fakes a surrender and you should know how it goes from there. 

In an interview with the developers of Assault on Dark Athena, it was revealed that with the delay of their game it gave them more time to add more to it, extra levels, etc.. However, with the delay of Prototype it gave the developers time for re-innovation, which made the developers “vision” more manageable.

“The extra dev time from last year really was a chance for us to polish, tweak and refine the missions and gameplay mechanics,” executive producer Tim Bennison told VG247.“The original vision for the game was huge, perhaps a little too huge, so the extra time in development has let us realize that vision.”

In addition, the game was originally planned to release in autumn last year, but, sadly, it was a victim of the devastating Actvision Blizzard merger – along with many other titles. Feel free to view of “as big as all Manhattan” preview of Prototype. 

Mentioned in numerous occasions in the rumor section, it now seems that EA Montreal have announced today, officially, the developement of Army of Two: The 40th day. In were the ultimate two-man private military team -Salem and Rios - return in where they must survive and prevail in a city under siege.

“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,” says 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.”

When disaster in strikes Shanghai, China, Rios and Salem find themselves right in the middle of it all – the wrong place, the wrong time, but they have the right team. A carefully orchestrated series of mysterious catastrophes is dragging Shanghai to the brink of ruin, and now the Army of Two must fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day.

The game features a bigger playbook of new co-op moves that either player can use at any time, opening up new strategies and countless choices for both players. The result is a bigger, better, more organic and immersive co-op experience that lets gamers put their best two-man tactics to use whenever and wherever they want. It will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC  this winter.

Well, this comes as no surprise what so ever, but if you are a fan start jumping because it looks like things are competly about to change for you after this announcement.
