Of all the games you could get into early next year, Sony's massive MMOFPS sequel is a very hot ticket.
The beta application will only take your email address, for now. A note from SOE that appears during the signup process says that the beta will be "ramping up slowly" testers will be under a non disclosure agreement to begin with. It sounds as though Planetside 2's development is going smoothly. "A few weeks ago after a lot of really intense work we completed a major internal milestone on the game," writes creative director Matthew Higby in a recent blog post. "Everyone here at SOE is seriously stoked on where the game is at and where we're heading."
Planetside 2 is an exciting prospect. It'll feature battles between hundreds of players on eight-by-eight kilometre continents . Find out more in our Planetside 2 preivew .
