It’s been one of PC gamingkind’s most frequent inquiries over the past six months: “When in the Zeus is the PlanetSide 2 beta starting?” Sony Online’s been soft on answering as it chisels away at its hyper-ambitious massive FPS, but they’re finally ready to give a semi-firm answer: “Within the next month.”
These words of confirmation come courtesy of Executive Producer Josh Hackney in the debut of SOE’s community video series PlanetSide Command Center, which just posted. If you scored a beta key from a PlanetSide 2 PC Gamer issue, take comfort: you’ll be one of the first to play our favorite game of E3.
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
The last Live Letter is done and we were all surprised at the announcement of a delay to the release of FFXIV's Endwalker expansion, we got some more details about the MMORPG's new PvP Crystal Conflict mode, and some system details. Then we talk about PlanetSide 2's new continent and LOTRO's new expansion before wrapping up with some good changes for Ubisoft and Blizzard... but are they enough? All that and more on this week's Always Online!
PlanetSide 2 is going to be getting its next major expansion this December. This new addition, titled “Expedition: Oshur” will be the first addition in almost seven years to bring an entirely new continent to the game.
YESHHHHHH!!!!! PC shooters are unmatched since doom 1993!
