In addition to working on the notably anticipated Socom 4, Zipper Interactive continues to show support for their 256-player first person shooter, MAG.

Firstly, after undergoing extreme beta testing in the PlayStation community, Zipper Interactive is happy to announce two all new Player Slots for fans of the massive first person shooter to enjoy. The feature will be coming to the game next week on August 31st which will allow players to break their limitations of having one PMC character at a time. Players will now be able to switch off between their favorite factions while still having all three on one console in unison. No need to worry about completely abandoning your fellow RAVEN, VALOR, or S.V.E.R brethren anymore.
