Army of Four Rumors Confirmed by Voice Actor

March 5, 2012 by Josh Harmon

The next entry in the Army of Two series appears to be coming with four player co-op, as was rumored late last year.

Actor Joe Flanigan, best known for his work on Stargate: Atlantis and Fringe, seems to have inadventantly spilled the beans on a new game in EA's Army of Two franchise.

This weekend, Flanigan tweeted that he had signed on to do voice work for a new EA title, referencing it by the acronym AO4.

Just signed on to do the new AO4 video game for Electronic Arts. Some splinter from Battlefield. Finally, my kids think I am cool again

Though Flanigan doesn't mention the title by name, the abbreviation meshes nicely with rumors from late last year that EA Montreal is working on a follow-up to Army of Two called Army of Four, featuring — you guessed it — four player co-op.

The only curious thing is that Flanigan referred to the game as "some splinter from Battlefield," though that might be a confused reference to the game's use of Battlefield 3's Frostbite 2.0 engine, something that was also rumored back in December.

For the moment, EA has yet to officially announce Army of Four but it seems increasingly likely that the title is indeed in the works.
