We sneak into Insomniac for an exclusive hands-on with Fall of Man’s upcoming multiplayer map and get the details on the new patch!

Since the PS3’s inception in the US and Japan six months ago, Resistance: Fall of Man has been something of a rallying point for early console adopters. Considering that it managed to maintain a higher attachment rate to consoles than Madden 07, that’s no small feat. Since then, the game has taken on something of a cult status. The following on MyResistance.net, Insomniac’s community-based site, has been quite strong, and clans have collectively kicked our teeth in during online games more times than we’d care to admit. After two updates that have added new content and balancing to the online game, Insomniac is dropping a new map pack for Resistance, and we visited the developer’s offices in Southern California to take it for a test drive.
The two new maps, Westmorland and Camborne, are slated for release in the US (and likely Japan) at some point next week, as Insomniac has said that it intends to launch them at the end of May. They’re currently in the approval process at Sony. According to SCEA’s Alyssa Casella, “Insomniac has finished the content for the Map Pack and latest update. We’re going through the final necessary certifications and still anticipate a May release. We’ll have a firm release date to share with you early next week.”
