Sony and developer Zipper Interactive have this evening announced SOCOM 4 which will be a Playstation 3 exclusive.

With MAG now released, Zipper Interactive announced their next title, SOCOM 4. The game will be released this autumn exclusively on the Playstation 3 and include a 32 person multiplayer mode that "boasts more Special Forces units  than ever before!" according to Zipper.

With MAG now released, and SOCOM naturally featuring an online multriplayer element, Zipper are keen to point out they are still fully commited to supporting MAG in the future. "...we’re still fully committed to supporting MAG for a long, long time and the addition of another game in our lineup doesn’t change that."

The first SOCOM 4 story details were also released by Zipper along with the first shots. A trailer will also make an appearance tomorrow (Friday 5th).

The Story

In South East Asia, a revolutionary army has seized control of a country bordering one of the world’s most vital waterways; threatening to disrupt he global economy.

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.

In addition to the gripping new single-player story mode, you’ll find all of the different ways to play that you’d expect from a SOCOM title. Online, you’ll be able to do battle with other teams in matches for up to 32 players – and you can choose to play in the guise of more world-famous Special Forces units than ever before. And – as it’s SOCOM – the realism of the experience will be second to none. As always, teamwork will carry the day.
