Hip-hop artists collaborating for “Double or Nothing” song and also will be featured in the game itself as playable characters for those who preorder.
Electronic Arts’ upcoming shooter Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel will feature a theme song written by hip-hop artists Big Boi and B.o.B. The two are collaborating on a track called “Double or Nothing,” EA announced today, but their involvement with the game does not stop there.
Not only are the rappers creating a song for The Devil’s Cartel, but the pair will also be featured in the game itself. Big Boi will play the role of Charles “Chuy” Rendall, while B.o.B will take on the character Anthony “Baker” Barnes. Both characters are T.W.O. agents.
According to EA’s press release, players will need to preorder The Devil’s Cartel to receive access to Rendall and Barnes. Those who reserve the game will receive a “Hit-Makers Kit,” which gives them access to a unique Contract mission that allows them to use Big Boi and B.o.B.’s characters.
The Devil’s Cartel is due out March 26 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For more, check out GameSpot’s previous coverage.
