The news comes from creative director Matt Higby, who made the comment during a PlanetSide 2 Twitch stream. He revealed the team is still optimising the MMO shooter for the new console, with bespoke UI and control mechanics all part of the process.Last we heard about PlanetSide 2 on PlayStation 4, Sony was still optimistic about a release date later this year , though we've yet to hear anything more. Seeing as Higby says elsewhere in the stream that hands-on time will happen at E3, hopefully this means it won't be long until the game's out in the wild.We'll be on the ground at E3 and, with any luck, will manage to find out more info for you. As soon as we know anything, we'll pass it on.
