EA has revealed when co-op destruction will return with Army of Two: The Devils Cartel.

26 March 2012 in the US and 29 March 2012 in the EU (and South Africa) is when the spin-off threequel is landing.

EA also confirmed that an Overkill Edition will be available for pre-order, and will come with some extra weapons, gear and early DLC access.

• Early Access to Three “Overkillers” Contracts: Unleash massive destruction with three Contract variations designed for maximum rampage! Players must kill enemies and cause environment destruction to earn enough points to continuously stay in Overkill while making their way to the extraction point.
• Tactical Co-op Gear: Lay down sustained cover fire with the TAH-9 side arm while decked out in the polymer textured outfit and mask or wield the Double D automatic shotgun while battling in the intimidating Overkill mask and outfit.
• Celebrate the Day of the Dead: Bust out the Day of the Dead themed assault rifle and take on Mexico’s most ruthless drug lords in Day of the Dead themed outfit and masks designed by popular tattoo artists.

Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel will feature two new characters, Alpha and Bravo, who step take the limelight from previous series protagonists Salem and Rios.

Alpha and Bravo will take on the gang-ridden streets of Mexico with the license to kill and ability to blow-up just about anything.

Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel will run on DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine.
