Pandemic is releasing an explosive new update for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. The "Total Payback" update will hit Xbox Live on October 13 and the PlayStation Network on October 20.

Here's what you'll get with the update:

* Cheats -- Unlock the total-payback power of all weapons, vehicles and airstrikes in Mercenaries 2, as well as everyone's favorite: Infinite Ammo and Infinite Health
* SIX New playable characters -- From Blanco to Fiona, Ewan, Eva, and more
* Cross-region Co-Op multiplayer Support -- Tear through Venezuela with friends from around the world

Mercs 2 fans should also keep an eye out for new (presumably paid) downloadable content. Pandemic promises a briefing with more information soon. Check out 1UP's review of Mercs 2 to see whether we think the game is worth playing, cheats or not.
