Development On September 25, 2009, Sony Online Entertainment sent a mass e-mail to current and former PlanetSide subscribers, asking to fill a survey that would help SOE design the next generation PlanetSide. "We plan to expand the PlanetSide universe with another game and we need your help with the design. After all, who knows the game better than you, our customers, the people who actually play it! Don't worry about the original PlanetSide, it isn't going anywhere." In addition, SOE registered the domain www.planetside2.com on September 21, 2009. Smedley later said that SOE would be launching a first-person shooter in March 2011, which was soon confirmed by Paul Williams of SOE as referring to PlanetSide Next.. John Smedley also announced a closed beta, and the keys would be sent to current PlanetSide subscribers. Features Although little is known about the game, there are some information given out by the developers. First, BFR's will not be in the sequel. In addition, the three factions from the original will be in the sequel. Various screenshots are released regularly in the Planetside Universe blog including vehicles and models. The flight mechanics and gameplay are some things that will be improved.
