Who doesn't love the introduction of a pint-sized sidekick who cracks wise in established franchises? I know I do. So I hope these new screens of Army of Two: The 40th Day are telling.

When I played the Army of Two sequel a few weeks back—more about that later—I certainly don't remember any precocious kids hanging out with Rios and Salem. But in a game where you can kill armed soldiers and civilians, you need a third, tinier smart ass to offer additional comic relief.

But that's probably not the focus of these new Army of Two: The 40th Day shots, which look rather spectacular, by the way. See if you agree by perusing the gallery below.
