EA has announced that there will be a new downloadable co-op demo available for Army of Two The Devil's Cartel.

The Devil's Cartel is the second game in the Army of Two franchise and is designed to celebrate cooperative game play.

The demo will be available to download via the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network on March 12. The game will put players into the boots of private military contractors Alpha and Bravo. The goal of the game is to rescue a kidnapped politician.
