Sony Announces SOCOM 4

Sony had been teasing an announcement for a "big unexpected sequel" over the past weeks, and now we know what it is. SOCOM 4 has now been officially announced, and the guys at Zipper Interactive are developing it. Zipper Interactive was the studio who created the very first SOCOM game and so it seems fitting that they are back to develop the newest title.

 Your mission is to step into the well-worn boots of the Ops Com, a NATO Operations Commander of an elite, five-man squad. You must venture deep into inhospitable jungles, city streets and crumbling urban ruins to engage an army of rebel fighters and discover their plans. Although you’re vastly outnumbered, you’re armed with the latest weaponry and your men are second to none – but do you possess the stealth, speed and tactical thinking to lead them to victory? Time is not on your side: you have just six days to complete your mission. To emerge victorious, you must lead from the front, maintain control of the situation and fight with sheer intensity.


 You might also know Zipper from MAG, Sony's 256 people shooter. Zipper defiantly has a lot of experience with army style games, but I have to wonder, will developing SOCOM 4 slow down the support for MAG?
 SOCOM 4 is set to hit sometime this fall, and it will also include a full single-player campaign and 32 people online matches.
