The original Planetside, released in 2003 by developers Sony Online Entertainment, was an ambitious undertaking. It was made for thousands of gamers to experience all-out warfare on an immense scale. Thousands of players in their designated faction would be battling each other on the planet Auraxis which had continents that stretch for miles and miles, taking control of each other’s territory before moving on to conquer the next territory, until that faction controls the entire continent.
Planetside 2’s future is uncertain as the IP was sold for a relatively low sum to a company with no history.
Was such a cool concept back in the day - shame that it never really took off like it probably could have with more support
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.
