MAG 2.0 Coming Soon

"Everyone here at Zipper Interactive is extremely proud to announce that our next downloadable MAG update, MAG 2.0, is not only our biggest and most important patch yet, but also one that’s less than a month away!

That’s right! All the feedback and suggestions you’ve made from countless hours spent playing our new MAG Beta program will pay off in the retail version of MAG in a very big way. We’re calling it “MAG 2.0″ for a reason and it’s because of the sheer number of fantastic new additions, including:

* 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

We’ll have specifics as to what else is in the MAG 2.0 patch as we near its release. Oh, and before we go, don’t forget to keep an eye out for additional news in the near future regarding our next DLC pack, which includes our upcoming Escalation game-type and nine all-new weapons.

We hope that you’re just as excited to get your hands on MAG 2.0 as we are to give it to you, and we’ll see you again real soon!"

MAG Beta Times Extended

Great news, everyone! We’ve decided to extend the online hours of the MAG Beta in order to allow more people access to our newest upcoming content. Instead of the current two four-hour time slots, we’re now going to run a single session that’s a full 12 hours in length!

The new beta session schedule is as follows:

* Hawaii: 5am-5pm
* Alaska: 7am-7pm
* Pacific: 8am-8pm
* Mountain: 9am-9pm
* Central: 10am-10pm
* Eastern: 11am-11pm
* GMT: 3pm-3am

Extra MAG Character Slots Now Available

As we announced last week, today is the day that players who want to expand their personal collection of MAG soldiers can increase their army.

Gamers who log in this afternoon will discover two additional slots below their original default character. For $0.99 (US) per added slot, players can select the extra character they want to unlock and create a brand new persona. These supplementary character subscriptions will last for 30 days from the day they’ve been purchased, but don’t fret if you decide not to renew one or both of them immediately. Once your extra characters have been created, they reside safely dormant on the MAG server until activated for subscription once again.

Note: The additional characters slots will not immediately be available for purchase until the regular PlayStation Store update; if you don’t see them for sale right away, try back again later!

We sincerely hope you enjoy this additional functionality to the MAG universe. Enjoy!
