What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “We want you to join us on our epic journey to shape the future of the PlanetSide franchise. With PlanetSide Arena, we’ll be releasing modes that will have hundreds of people battling in a single match and we need your help to play these new massive modes and help us find out what works and what needs to be adjusted.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “PlanetSide Arena will launch out of Early Access in Q2 of 2020 with our flagship mode: Massive Clash – a gargantuan base vs base conflict that supports up to 1000 players in a single match.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “Throughout Early Access we will be releasing new modes, weapons, vehicles, classes, and progression systems. We’ll need your help to test all of these and make sure they’re exciting to play.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “Our initial launch in Early Access will feature the new Squads mode (12 soldiers per Squad) and Teams mode (3 solders per Team) in epic 300-player matches. Three initial character classes (Assault, Engineer, and Medic) and an expansive motor pool including tanks, hovercraft, and jetpacks offer players a variety of strategies and playstyles to choose from in every match, with freer movement mechanics and more explosive combat options than ever before.



The new personal loadout system, a visual overhaul for the game, and character mods that add utility to your weapons and battle suits are just a few of the additional new features we’ve worked to implement since our first beta sessions.



PlanetSide Arena will continue to add additional modes, vehicles, weapons, classes, events, and maps throughout our time in Early Access – including Massive Clash, an intense base vs base conflict that supports up to 1,000 players.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “There is currently no plan to change pricing after Early Access, however the Recruit and Legendary bundles will be exchanged with new ones.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We are planning on involving the community as much as possible as we develop and design PlanetSide Arena. In particular, but not limited to, we can use your help with:
