News: Slant Six returns to the SOCOM series with Fireteam Bravo 3.

Sony is bringing the SOCOM series back with the announcement that SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals: Fireteam Bravo 3 will be released on the PSP this Winter. The game will be developed by Slant Six Games, the team behind SOCOM: Confrontation on the PlayStation 3.

Here's what Sony had to say about the next SOCOM game:

Created with the support of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command, the SOCOM series is renowned for its real-world situations and attention to detail. Join the ominous world of ex-secret operatives as you lead a special operation to track and interrogate former KGB agent, Alexander Gozorov who is believed to be withholding information on a forthcoming attack with weapons of mass destruction. It's up to you and your squad to track Gozorov in a series of customisable missions, using your skills, stealth and swift thinking.

While the SOCOM name has long been synonymous with multiplayer tactical gaming, SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo 3 takes it a step further allowing players to choose which mission to attempt and tackle with teamwork and firepower. Players can also compete online, communicate via voice chat, battling for Medals and a place on SOCOM's online leaderboards. With an extensive and realistic single-player mode as well, the action in SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals: Fireteam Bravo 3 never ends.

The first two screenshots of the game can be found at the official SOCOM blog at SOCOM.com.
