We've been hearing rumours pertaining to the prospect of a new sequel for some time, but have always stopped just short of confirming the game, despite intensifying rumours in recent weeks.

While the publisher still aren't letting the whole cat out of the bag, blog VG247 does post a credible this morning suggesting that the title has been confirmed by "UK sources".

Army of Two: The 40th Day is apparently the name of EA's new co-op focussed sequel, the Montreal-developed title set to be unveiled this Thursday - which also ties in with EA-related event news we've caught wind of.

Apparently, the new title will be set in Shanghai, and will presumably follow on from the highly successful original.
