Hey everyone. After months of intense beta testing, I'm excited to announce that PlanetSide 2 will be launching on PlayStation 4 on 23rd June 2015 in Europe and North America!

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, you're in for a wild ride! PlanetSide 2 is a revolutionary massive scale first-person shooter where soldiers battle as one in strategic, targeted missions against enemy Empires in an all-out planetary war.

Massive communities with unwavering camaraderie band together in PlanetSide 2 as the game challenges the skill and grit of the most seasoned soldier through intense infantry, air and ground vehicle gameplay. Victory requires strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger to survive the enormous battles.
To give you an idea of just how massive our battles really are in PlanetSide 2, we recently set a Guinness World Record for the most players online in a single FPS battle, with 1,158 players in a single fight! The game is synonymous with large-scale warfare and it's truly an experience you have to see to believe. Plus, as a free-to-play game, all players can jump into the game's massive battles for free – no PlayStation Plus membership required.

We've put a lot of effort into streamlining and improving the feature set so that PlayStation 4 players will have the ultimate massive-scale, FPS gaming experience. We've also incorporated some unique features that are currently exclusive to the PS4 version, which for example, include the new battle map, Koltyr. We will continue to further improve and enhance the gameplay experience after launch as well. In the weeks and months following the release on 23/6, players can look forward to frequent game updates, which will include deeper features, holiday events and content, new in-game marketplace items and much, much more.
On behalf of the PlanetSide 2 development team, we'd like to thank the tens of thousands of players that have taken part in the closed beta testing. Because of you, we've been able to make a ton of refinements to the game that otherwise wouldn't have been possible without your valuable feedback.

We're excited to finally bring the game to the PlayStation 4 so the console gaming community can experience what truly massive warfare is all about!

We'll see you on Auraxis!

i lost all interest in this game. this just came way to late.

Now that it isn't made by Sony, the fanboy in me doesn't care

I tried the beta test. I didn't like it. It was one of those games that was already showing its age when it first released back in 2012 on the PC. I just don't think it stacks up in today's market even for being a Free-to-Play.

Wat. It looked phenomenal at the time and had insanely big battles. It was like Mag but good and sci-fi

It's not the technical visuals that were the problem. It just had this feeling of old. It's hard to describe. It really didn't feel all that modern even when it released. Playing it on the beta today.... ugh. It just doesn't click.

Too close to batman for me to care about it unfortunately.

lulz, when sony sold them i was certain the console ports were canceled.

[Max King of the Wild]

But I thought sony lost a ton of exclusives when they sold it? Anyway, another game not on xbox that will not be namedwhen people talk about console exclusives and say sony has no games

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Yeah, but I think it will end up on xbox, just way late. People don't Care now. People really won't then.

The rate at which it took them to get the game onto PS4 and how little excitement it seems to be stirring up now, I have my doubts it'll ever reach the X1. As you said, even if it does it will be at a point where only the most rabid fanboys remaining will talk it up.
