MAG Banner

As announced by Jeremy Dunham, writer for The Official MAG Blog, the previously closed MAG beta will be open to the public from January 4th 2010.

The 256-player first-person shooter recently went gold in America, Japan, Korea and Asia, and is about to undergo the manufacturing process in preparation for worldwide distribution early next year. In the meantime, developer Zipper Interactive is kindly giving us the opportunity to hone our skills in the game’s 64 player Sabotage and 256 player Domination multiplayer modes prior to market release.

North American PS3 owners can begin downloading from the PlayStation Store immediately, though bear in mind that gameplay servers won’t go live anytime before January 4th – the date the 298MB file will be made available to us humble Europeans. Sorry guys...

We await with apprehension. The first FEAR was good, though the fighting got a little repetitive after a while, let's hope the sequel can sort that out.
