Whatever happened to MAG, that ‘massive action game’ for PlayStation 3?

El33tonline thought quite highly of the online team-based shooter, and at least one team member goes back to play now and again, but other than the occasional news of downloadable content and a patch, the game has fallen off of the proverbial radar.

So it was a little bit of a surprise when rumours began swirling regarding a follow-up to the game, a ‘MAG 2’ for lack of a better term, but now the developer behind the game has revealed that the idea of a ‘new’ MAG isn’t too far-fetched of an idea, after announcing that an enormous, feature-packed ‘MAG 2.0’ title update is on the way.

Zipper Interactive recently revealed on its blog that in under a month’s time, a patch for MAG will be released that will include tons of additions, updates and tweaks, a brief list of which you can look through below:

• PlayStation Move support
• An increased level cap that goes to level 70
• A revamped Skill Tree that allows for the deepest character customization and specialization ever found in a first-person shooter
• A brand-new in-game economy that lets you earn credits to spend on weapons and items from the also-new “Supply Depot”
• Our useful “Clan Deploy” feature that enables clan leaders and officers to queue up to 128 of their fellow clan members into a single game
• A “MAG News” page that brings players up to date on all the latest happenings the moment they log in
• A multitude of updates that refine existing weapons, maps, and vehicles
• Important bug fixes and other enhancements that streamline the overall experience

Zipper assures us that this list only represents a portion of the new additions that we can expect from the 2.0 MAG patch, and says that we should look forward to further information in the coming weeks on this and other MAG details.

Finally, some really good news for MAG players!
