Army of Two Sequel Teased

Mar 05, 2009 4:20pm CST tags: Army of Two 2
Next week, Army of Two developer EA Montreal is going to unveil a new game, and now the official Army of Two site is teasing that a sequel is on the way. Coincidence?

The source code for the page declares that "the definitive third person co-op shooter is back." There are also uses of Army of Two: TFD, suggesting a likely subtitle.

The original Army of Two hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2008, allowing players to fist-bump their way through the dangerous world of private military contractors. EA previously said that a sequel was likely, but it's yet to be officially announced.

Adding to the recent revelation that EA DICE's upcoming Mirror's Edge is part of a trilogy, EA Games president Frank Gibeau and Dead Space executive producer Glenn Schofield have disclosed that the company is planning a number of other sequels.

Both EA Montreal's co-op action game Army of Two (PS3, 360) and EA DICE's shooter Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, 360) have "sequel ideas planned," Gibeau told Variety Meanwhile, Schofield revealed that EA Redwood Shore's sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space (PC, PS3, 360) already has a sequel in the works.

Dead Space debuted at retailers last week, with Army of Two and Battlefield: Bad Company arriving earlier this year. Since its release, Army of Two has been one of the year's best-selling Xbox 360 titles thus far.

Gibaeu also noted that EA's expansion into game-inspired films, books and television shows stems from the somewhat-recent return of EA CEO John Riccitiello, who, in Gibaeu's words, explained that "our fan base would love to experience or learn more about them in linear forms."
