The Expendables 2 | Game confirmed

For those absolutely amped to be able to play as one of their favourite action “stars” from the upcoming ‘The Expendables 2’ movie, Ubisoft has answered your prayers.

The game – which we spotted gameplay footage of a week back – has been confirmed as download on PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation 3 this “summer” [Northern Hemisphere].

In the game you will be able to play as Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) and Yin Yang (Jet Li) in an “explosive, over-the-top” four-player co-op action shooter.  It features a mix of “close-quarter combat” and vehicle gameplay, and will take you to “exotic locations” around the world – from the Somalian deserts to the Burmese jungles.

According to the Press Release:

“Building on the universe created in the high-octane, star-studded movies, The Expendables 2 Videogame invites gamers on an adventure to rescue an extremely valuable, kidnapped billionaire.”

“It’s business as usual, until all hell breaks loose and the explosive mix of testosterone and kerosene detonates in a massive fireball that never lets up. The adventure concludes right where the new movie begins, creating a continuous story experience for fans of the Expendables’ hard-boiled brand of action.”
