Massively: Last week we got the bad news that Sony Online Entertainment laid off 205 employees and shuttered the Denver, Seattle, and Tucson studios. The announcement was coupled with the news that that The Agency, the long-anticipated "spy-fi" MMO, was also being canceled. The intent, SOE said, was to focus on its upcoming MMOs based on its extant IPs: PlanetSide Next and EverQuest Next.
It has been a rather tough time for Sony Online Entertainment, with huge layoffs and a massive data breach causing the MMO publisher to cancel projects and lose the trust of a huge proportion of its fans. Luckily, however, PlanetSide Next wasn't canceled, so fans of the massively multiplayer game will still be able to play the title when it releases later this year. But with E3 not revealing any new info on the game, many were worried it would be a while before we heard anything about the title. Luckily, we won't have to wait too long.
yeah, it was pretty lame, I barely spent any time in their booth area, cause I'd already seen most of it before E3
That actually makes more sense as Dust 514 will fill much of the ground (and more) that Planetside will cover.

'…early next year we will have announcements about Planetside Next followed by a beta. I can say this – it’s coming along awesome'."
So many dam PC games it's almost retarded.
Maybe you can help me out, What is this game all about?
GameZone.com: "During a recent interview with The Escapist, Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley leaked the existence of an unannounced project with the tentative title PlanetSide Next."
