The new stars of the game are Alpha and Bravo, employees of paramilitary outfit Tactical Worldwide Operations who find themselves caught in a Mexican drug war.

EA promises splitscreen co-op plus new character customisation options for the sequel.

Visceral's executive producer Julian Beak said of the game: "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 favourites.

"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."

Visceral's general manager Steve Papoutsis added: "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."
