Word was, back in March, that we would be seeing a brand new map pack for the hit Playstation 3 game Resistance: Fall of Man sometime last month. May is over now. Where's our map pack!? We should be seeing it on June 7th now, due to the developing team getting the global servers ready for the big impact.

Back in early March, Insomniac Games sent word along that Resistance: Fall of Man would be seeing a pair of new maps come May. It's the end of the month now, and we've still yet to see the fabled map pack. What's the hold-up?

Greg Phillips of Sony Computer Entertainment America confirmed to CVG today that the map pack has been pushed back one week to June 7th to guarantee compatibility between the various world servers, which are being linked now that the PlayStation 3 has launched in most major markets.

"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," said Phillips. "We would rather have a short delay and continue to deliver on our over the top, online experience."
