Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley had a chat aboutPlanetSide 2with Chinese site17173.com, which was then translated byMMOsiteand picked up byPlanetSide Universe. Phew. Some of the comments were misinterpreted, but Smedley has since responded. On with the news:
He says the aim for the beta is late this year or early next, remarking that “It’s ready when it’s ready and we are proud of it.” In other not-totally-unexpected news,PlanetSide 2will be a free-to-play title. The specifics aren’t finalized yet, although Smedley did drop a hint: “we likeLeague of Legendsa lot.”
The final tidbit from the interview was that the team wants players to craft weapons eventually, but such functionality won’t be present at launch.
