Fans of Zipper Interactive have been getting their online shooter fill with "MAG," but that fanbase was built on the back of another franchise: "SOCOM." When hardly anyone was connecting their PS2's to the internet, it was "SOCOM" that caused the hordes to pick up network adapters. And it appears that Zipper hasn't forgotten where they came from, as "SOCOM 4" has been announced and will release this fall.
Sony offered up a basic rundown of the story on their blog:
"As the Ops Com, your mission is to command an elite five-man squad charged with stopping his aggressive agenda before it’s too late. In only six days, you must lead your team through a hostile jungle and urban environments against an army of well-armed rebel insurgents that completely outnumber you."
They go on to say that "SOCOM 4" will feature 32-person multiplayer, in addition to the single-player campaign.
If you're still dying for additional "SOCOM 4" info, tune in to Gametrailers TV on Spike tonight at 12:30AM, as they'll be airing the first trailer for the game.
