EA and Pandemic Studios has announced that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames has now shipped to retail outlets and will hit store shelves on September 5th. The game is set in an open world environment that is fully destructible.

EA says the game showcases the most recent military hardware and if you see it in the game you can buy it, steal it, or blow it up. EA says the game sets a new standard for destructible environments and the game can be played online against other players. The game will be available on PS2, PS3, Xbox, and PC.

"Can I? Yes I can! That is what we set out to achieve in Mercenaries 2 and I am proud to say that is what we are delivering," said Josh Resnick, President of Pandemic Studios. "With Mercenaries 2, we are bringing our signature style to a truly epic, fun experience with tons of weapons, airstrikes, and vehicles, wrapping it all up in a virtual Venezuela that should provide endless larger-than-life moments."
