Earlier today, Joystiq was tipped by an anonymous soul stating a few rumors on the Army of Two sequel, calling the sequel “The 40th Day.” Considering EA Montreal (The developer of Army of Two) will announce a new title on March 12, the following rumors from Joystiq on “The 40th Day” are pointing to being most likely truth.

• The game takes place in Shanghai, where a network of PMCs are looking to take over, under the rule of a leader with a hidden purpose
• Rios and Salem are back, however they’ve been reluctantly dragged into the conflict and don’t have the full story
• The game will feature moral decisions, a deeper weapons customization system, multiple endings, and even a few followers
• Multiplayer will be outsourced yet again
• On the technical side: The 40th Day adds Beast lighting and Fracture, as well as an improved networking system
• Environmental interaction: some weapons will be capable of tearing through thin walls and obstacles in the game; and new AI scripts will improve your partner’s realism (e.g., peeking through windows, taking out enemies silently, etc.)
• EA will be tossing civilians into the mix, which you can use as human shields

Our [Joystiq's] tipster also provides us with alleged details of the game’s first levels:

• 1st map is the introduction
• 2nd map is the invasion; with Rios and Salem escaping from a crumbling building
• 3rd map takes place in a zoo
• 4th map takes Rios and Salem to a hospital
