EA announces a new Army of Two game is in development called "Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel" with a release date planned for March 2013 and the game itself being a "gritty" reboot for the series.
Unlike previous rumors stating 4 player co-op would be possible, EA reveals the new game is sticking to the traditional 2 player co-op like the previous games.
Other details include the game using the Frostbite 2 engine to have “the ability to unleash the power of ultimate destruction” while Visceral Games are developing the game instead of EA Montreal who worked on the first two games.
In terms of story, the game and setting will revolve around the Drug Cartel war occurring in Mexico.
In terms of being a reboot, EA states the game is "more intense, mature, and grittier tone" than the previous two games.
EA did not reveal if the original Alpha and Bravo characters are returning for this game or are being replaced with a brand new set of playable characters.
