Resistance: Fall of Man gets its map pack in a week - Image 1We like having a sense of finality in our release dates. It keeps us from having to respond to a deluge of comments from gaming fans who were expecting our news to be final. Still, when developers have a job to do, and they absolutely HAVE to take some extra time to do it, then we don't mind the comments so much.

That being said, a new post on myresistance.net from Greg Phillips, a line producer at SCEA, made it official. According to Phillips, the worldwide release date of the content updates and map packs for Insomniac Games' Resistance: Fall of Man is now set for June 7.

For those who don't have access to the myresistance forums at the moment, here's the pertinent information, along with an explanation for why it took so long to release:

Well, we're finally ready to announce the worldwide release date of the content update, as well as the release date for the Japanese and US map packs, and that is June 7th. More info on the European map pack release date coming soon.

At this point, a lot of you are probably wondering "wait, what? They had said the content will be ready by the end of May, and the Gamespy article even said they were in submissions?? What gives?". I'm here to answer that. The map pack has completed the approval process, and the content update is in the final day of testing worldwide. The DLC, itself, is on track and ready to go as promised by Insomniac back in March. The reason for the delay is we (SCEA) needed a little extra time to get the global servers locked in and ready for thousands of players to come knocking. We would rather have a short delay and continue to deliver on our over the top, online experience. So, on June 7th get ready to invade the new maps and LAARK someone in Europe from the confines of your couch on the West Coast. Of course, you can still expect other enhancements to the online experience.


Hopefully, this will really be the final release date. As for the lack of a European release date for the map pack, we're wondering that ourselves. We'll keep checking in on our sources to see what pops up regarding that little omission. In the meantime, wait another week, and you'll eventually see new goodies for your PS3.

First Post... I know I was hoping today, 1 more week to wait.. Looking good. June 7 I like the wording, "you'll eventually see new goodies for your PS3" What does that mean?
