Looking Forward
Hey there. If it seems like this update is a bit light (outside of all these wicked dope cosmetics,) it's because we've been heads down working on a larger update that we'll be talking about in a Dev Letter next week. As a reminder of what we've got planned for this year (and when you're likely to see these features,) here's a link to the roadmap article: https://www.planetside2.com/news/roadmap-2022. All of that is still 100% on track at the moment, but you never know what the future holds... Except these updates. It holds all these updates. Here's a shot of the New Conglomerate's new empire-specific basilisk variant to placate that curious hunger. -Wrel, Lead Designer
