ZG:In the beautiful setting of the planet Auraxis, over three continents, Planetside 2 takes place. Three factions; The Terran Republic, the New Conglomerate and the Vanu Sovreignty; fight over control of three continents; Esamir, Indar and Amerish; to reap from them resources. For an MMO FPS with a free-to-play business model, Sony has taken every right turn in the development of Planetside 2, and has an amazing end result.
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.
