According to GameStop and Amazon.com, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, the sequel in the works at Pandemic Studios, for Xbox 360, PC, PS2 and PS2, is now due to ship on August 25 (thanks: Shacknews). Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone. You are a mercenary and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment.
