Zipper Interactive, developer of the acclaimed PS3-exclusive online first-person shooter MAG, has announced that the promised ‘Escalation Add-on Pack’ downloadable content (DLC) will become available starting in early November for US and European gamers.
The new patch for MAG has been released and trust me when I say it’s packed full of some excellent additions to Zipper Interactive’s massively multiplayer online first-person shooter.
Sony has announced that it will be expanding its Greatest Hits library with seven new PS3 titles. The seven new Greatest Hits PS3 titles are available now at US and Canadian retailers for $29.99.
The new additions include MAG, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Demon’s Souls, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Tekken 6.
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 has announced that new features will be available for their massively multiplayer online first person shooter MAG in early August.
The next MAG patch, version 1.07, will add new features that players have been asking for in addition to a “few surprises” in just over a week from now. You can see a list of some of the changes you can expect below, but the developer also promises more details of other additions and fixes closer to the update next week.
This week’s US PlayStation Store Update is filled with the joys of great new content to tool around with, as Sam And Max Episode 4: Beyond The Alley Of The Dolls, Gravity Crash Portable (for PSP), a bunch of Marvel-themed LittleBigPlanet costumes and a whole host of price updates for games and add-ons make an appearance.
You shouldn’t forget about the demo for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, either, available exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers for a week.

Zipper Interactive has announced that new downloadable content for their massively multiplayer online first person shooter MAG will be available on the 29th of April.
Known as the Fast Attack Gear Pack, the new MAG DLC will be 100% free and promises to cause marksmen to swoon because of the three new Special Edition Sniper Rifles and the new armour types.
In the build up to MAG I was dubious as to the reason for the games existence. Was the point just to push the boundaries of the hardware and network with the creation of a really elaborate “tech demo” or was there more to MAG than that. The answer will be different to each person as it really depends on what you are looking for from the game. It ain’t no Gears of War or Call of Duty as you just don’t get a single player campaign to build the emotional buy in, but it certainly stands uniquely on its own and has certainly set the benchmark for massively online gaming.
