Direct from the official PlayStation Blog comes news that Mag developer, Zipper Interactive, is busy working on a brand new Socom game that will differ from its predecessors.

The blog reveals that some of the staple ingredients of previous Socom games, such as team work and online play, will still feature but they'll also be plenty of innovation to look forward to.

Built from the ground-up exclusively for PS3, the game will feature a story-mode and online play for up to 32 players. A new trailer is expected to be released at some point today.

Sony also revealed details on the storyline:

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.

Details of the release date are yet to be finalised.
