EA has officially announced Army of Two: The Cartel which will be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 and is slated for a March 2013 release. Army of Two games are usually co-op oriented as the name suggests and the third one promises a more  intense, mature and grittier tone.

“We wanted to refresh the Army of TWO franchise for a new generation of action gamers, and at the same time, stay true to the core concept that really made the first two games fan favorites,” said Julian Beak, Executive Producer, Visceral Games.

“With meaningful, seamless co-op gameplay at its core and explosive new tag-team features, gamers will have to work together tactically and strategically as they push through a city dominated by one of Mexico’s deadliest drug cartels.”

“Our goal with Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel is to apply our key design principles – immersive, challenging gameplay, intense narrative and focus on quality – to help improve a franchise we feel has always had a lot of potential,” said Steve Papoutsis, General Manager of Visceral Games.
