John Smedley has just updated his blog with some new PlanetSide details:
In other news - early next year we will have announcements about Planetside Next followed by a beta. I can say this - it's coming along awesome. Check Costco Ad and Hobby Lobby Ad. I can also say that the first beta testers are going to be current Planetside subscribers. I've gotten a lot of email from current players offering to help test the game and we're going to take them up on it.
Awesome news for all the existing PlanetSide players! It also sounds like they have made some good progress on the game internally. Thanks Tigersmith for the news tip - follow the comments link to continue discussing!

Re: PlanetSide Next Spring 2011? I know from looking around that there is not much info about this, but I am also hoping that the game that ruled all will soon be back |

Re: PlanetSide Next Spring 2011? Usually developers reveal more if they're going to release that soon, but I guess there's an entire month and a half ahead to do that. |

Re: PlanetSide Next Spring 2011? Ok so with his confirmation to expect in Q1 or Q2 I see basically two realistic possibilities. The first is that its not a full blown sequel but some kind of reworked edition of the first Planetside. With updates an possibly a new subscription model with F2P options. The other is that he is just hyping it an that's not really releasing so much as being revealed to press for the first time. An possibly going into Beta. I just don't see them launching a full blown sequel out of no where with no media up to this point. It just doesn't happen unless SOE are really just that stupid. You want to give people time to hear about the game an hype it not just go Ahhh surprise! |

Re: PlanetSide Next Spring 2011? The way I see it, it is a mega-hype. An adrenaline rush when you see your girlfriend bloodied, mashed up, broken and twisted in the back of a suspicious van. The way I see it, it is essential to contminate the press with a Nicholas Cage "The Rock" bio-chem bomb. The way I see it, it is necessary for Jackie Chan to be at dinner with President B. Obama and his family. |

Re: PlanetSide Next Spring 2011? Well screw this I am excited as hell. I don't care everything SOE did wrong to hype the game if a game is good the word will spread fast. Just look at Minecraft how much PR did notch have for that game? I will stick my neck out and say none except for the players who loved the game and talked about it. So just because SOE hasn't started this enormous hype around PSN won't automatically mean it will fail. If they manage to produce a good game I think it will succeed. Well that was my two I will just crawl back into the hole I came from now.
