Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel: we saw some gameplay, and more

We all know the newest entry in the Army of Two franchise, Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel, is powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, used by Battlefield 3, primarily. We also know Dante’s Inferno and Dead Space developer, Visceral Games, has taken over. But what we didn’t know, is that the game would look so good.

During the GamesCom presentation of EA, we saw a live demo of The Devil’s Cartel by two of its developers, and it was amazing. Everything was destructible, and was destroyed in a pretty fashion, thanks to Frostbite. The whole setting, style and tone was also more gritty than the previous games, and more realistic as well. Salem and Rios are in deep trouble again, but this time, shooting through tons of people looks to be as satisfying as ever.

We also got to know about Overkill, a new feature built for the game’s co-op structure. By amassing kills, your Overkill bar fills up, and when it’s full, unleash it to deal crazy amounts of damage to your enemies. The game also supports split-screen co-op, something kind of rare nowadays.

Sadly, we have no further information, but we do know there’s a Limited Edition incoming, and the game’s bound to release this March. Until then, quench this trailer!
