News: Army of Two: The 40th Day demo available this Thursday

It's time to find a friend and knock some heads as EA Montreal announced today that a demo for the upcoming Army of Two: The 40th Day will be available for download on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live on Thursday, Dec. 17.

Players will be able to take control of the iconic Salem and Rios throughout most of the first level, which takes place in Shanghai.

The sequel looks at continuing the co-op shooter gameplay that kept gamers entertained in the first title. And of course, what would an Army of Two game be without the ability to pimp your gun.

“The 40th Day is non-stop action in an explosive Shanghai," said executive producer Reid Schneider. "The game has been designed with a focus on co-op gameplay and it has been our goal to refine this core experience in all aspects of the game. The demo will give players the opportunity to experience this evolution and the new co-op moves and tactics available to players at any time in the game.”

Army of Two: The 40th Day will hit store shelves on Jan. 13 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Playstation Portable.
