Posting on Twitter, developer Sucker Punch explained (opens in new tab), “We’ve decided to extend the beta. Once PSN is back up we’ll determine by how long, but rest assured: your outcry has been heard.”
Meanwhile, Sony has yet to offer a concrete timeframe for PSN’s reactivation, but said in an update this morning (opens in new tab) that it’s working to get it back up quickly.
