Update Under Construction

Hey there. It's been a while since we've given a proper update on construction, but I hope folks have been able to catch some of the teasers the team has released here and there on social media. Below, we'll share a handful of new structures on the way, and touch on some areas where our design has seen iteration since its original debut. Worth noting here is that all of the art below is still work in progress.



Construction outposts, like Solas Nature Annex on Amerish, Untapped Reservoir on Esamir, and Sunken Relay Station on Indar have been converted over to self-restocking silos controlled by the faction that owns the region. These silos double as capture points for that region, which will allow anyone to set up a base in the area the mome…

Construction in 2023

Hey there, folks. In this letter we'll be sharing our intentions for the first major update of 2023, a Construction System overhaul.

One of our goals for this year is to be more transparent with content we're excited about, which includes letting you know our plans further in advance, showing off more work-in-progress material, encouraging more feature testing on the Public Test Server, and engaging in more discussion with you all when possible.

To kick things off, below you'll find an overview of our goals and planned design for a revamped construction system. This should be viewed as somewhat of a conversation starter, and you can find a discussion thread to post feedback in here.



Since its introduction in 2016, the Construction System has …

Planting a Flag this Anniversary

Hey there. In the last dev letter, we covered some of the graphical improvements on the way in the 10th Anniversary Update. This time we'll look at the gameplay side of things.



This anniversary, we'll be shaking up the battlefields of Auraxis with a new way to capture bases. Enter: Capture the Conduit, a CTF-style capture mechanic that focuses on movement and multiple objectives.

When attacking a Conduit Outpost, attackers will need to grab control of a "Repo" (kind of like a generator) that they can deposit the flag into. At that point, attackers try to bring as many Conduits (flags) back to their Repo as they can. Each flag capture here scores a "strike" against the base. Each base has different numbers of flags, repos, and strike counts, …

Anniversary Inbound

Well hello there. We are rapidly approaching our ten-year anniversary, and as mentioned in the last dev letter, we've taken some time to review the roadmap and realign our goals for the end of the year. We'll get into where we landed on that, talk about the last Outfit Wars, and give you some insight into what you'll see for the 10-year anniversary update.


Despite keeping pretty good pace with our initial ambitions toward the start of the year, the development of the 1v1 version of Outfit Wars took longer than anticipated, putting us on the back foot for subsequent releases. After taking most of September to get realigned and generally slow down, a lot of what was originally intentioned for the last leg of the year has at this point been put o…

Stepping through September

Hey there. With week one of Outfit Wars behind us now, I’d like to do a bit of post mortem, and then talk a bit more about some goals for the rest of the year.



Firstly, a big thank you and congratulations goes out to the participants, the excellent caster coverage, and the community API wizards who enhanced the event showcasing during the first round of Outfit Wars. On Twitch alone, we reached the highest peak viewership since The Late Shift rolled through in July (https://sullygnome.com/game/PlanetSide_2/30/summary), with more streaming taking place on YouTube separately. It’s great to see the general excitement surrounding events like this, and all the players rooting for one another in chat is a good reminder of how tight knit our commun…

The first match of Outfit Wars is just around the corner, and this weekend we'll be hosting a very abbreviated test run for anyone looking to explore the new Nexus battle island before match time.

On the Public Test Server, we'll be holding a short Outfit War with the timeline as follows:

Outfit Wars - Nexus Season 01

Outfit Wars is a tournament-based event where outfits (organized groups of players) compete against one another to show who is the most prepared, coordinated, and fearsome on the field of battle. Outfits will fight for leaderboard placement match after match in hopes of achieving rewards, recognition, and maybe some bragging rights. Below we'll walk through how Outfit Wars has changed in 2022, so that you can prepare to claim victory in the upcoming season.



There are four main phases in Outfit Wars (Enlistment, Qualifiers, Playoffs, and Championships) that take place over the course of seven weeks.

  • Enlistment - When the Enlistment phase begins (Aug. 03,) any outfit with at least 48 players can sign up to participate after paying the resource…

Dev Letter - Surf and Storm

Hey there, folks. We've got a boatload of content releasing this summer, and we'd like to share some of what you'll see in our newest update: Surf and Storm.



The flagship of our Surf and Storm update starts with the Corsair assault craft, the first proper naval vessel added to PlanetSide 2.

This squad-spawnable patrol boat is the faster, sleeker, waterborne counterpart to the Sunderer, with a heavy focus on the necessary logistics to move players around Oshur's island chain quickly.


A seasoned navigator can cruise around with two gunners, and up to 5 additional passengers.

Weapons on the Corsair are similar to other Nanite Systems common-pool vehicles, and includes the M20 Basilisk, M60 Bulldog, and Dingo ML-6, and Empire-Specific Basilisk alt…

On the Road(map) Again

Hey there, folks. With the summer months right around the corner, I wanted to revisit the roadmap with an eye to what's currently in development, and what you'll see in the next leg of PS2's development.

But first, let's take a moment to talk about a couple hurdles we've been dealing with since roughly around the time of the Arsenal Update.

G15 errors: Over the past few weeks, we've added loads of logging, pored over code submissions, and continue to search for the source of our G15 issues. A G15 is the error you see when you can't connect through your "gateway" to the server. This is not something that's wrong with your computer or connection. The only "fix" is to wait for a while and try again later. However, we do have a bandaid in place th…

Equipment Check!

Hey there, folks. We've been working on the Arsenal Update, a heavily gameplay-focused update that expands customization options for infantry weapons, uplifts some of the less-used faction weapons, and touches a fair amount of game balance on the infantry and vehicle side at the same time. There's a lot to go through, and you won't see all the details until the patch notes hit later this week, but we'll break down some of the larger beats in this dev note.



Let's talk about where the majority of work has gone in for this update: attachments. At the time of writing this, we've added 829 new attachments between 241 weapons with more in progress. You'll see a handful of new mainstays, like an Angled Forward Grip that heavily reduces first shot …

Player-facing Roadmap for 2022

Hey there, folks.

We'd like to offer up the main focal points for 2022 in roadmap form. It's rare that we share what we're working on this far out, so roadmap below is divided into a few sections where features and content will land this year. The proper release dates and true scope of each update will be shared as we get closer to those individual releases.

The roadmap is meant to act mainly as an overview, and we'll continue doing all the detail work you can expect from update to update in the background. For example: Oshur is going to continue to receive more love, shielded Sunderer garages will come to non[Oshur continents, bugs and general polish will continue to land every update, balance will continue to be tweaked throughout the year…

Welcome to the Isles of Oshur

A new, massive-scale continent makes its way to PlanetSide 2 for the first time since 2014. The tropical isles of Oshur are reminiscent of a time before the Auraxian war, where research and exploration were the most valued pursuits, and the factions weren't fully divided.



Oshur was designed with an emphasis on logistics and diversity of gameplay. The towering Trident Relays necessitate air support and quick responses, the lattice has deliberate and strategic cutoffs for squad and platoon leaders to pursue, the beachheads and mid-field bases carve a meaningful role for construction; the open savannahs, sandy beaches, and tropical jungles foster vehicle battles and heavy armor usage; and the hand-crafted designer-driven bases create unique an…

Expedition on the Horizon

Despite hijacked supply shipments en route to our field operatives, we continue to make good progress clearing the way to Oshur. Tolland is in the process of "negotiating" support through his personal list of contacts, though there tends to be a hidden price for such dealings. The shroud dispersal buoys seem to have mitigated the majority of the energy storm surrounding the island. We should be free and clear to establish proper shipping lanes, and reconnect the hardline lattice network so work will increase in efficiency. We're still tracking behind the original agreed upon contract dates, but the Terran Republic will take whatever we're able to offer. They want this bad.

Set Sail for Oshur

Throughout the past year (let alone over the past nine,) there's been no shortage of ambitious projects. Exploring tournament-style competition, raising up a monumental new facility type, overhauling an entire faction, and revamping the new player experience... it's a lot for a single year, and we're not quite done. During the anniversary last year, there was a bullet on our slideshow that I was really looking forward to. It just said... "New continent".



If you search for "PlanetSide 2 Oshur" on your favorite internet browser, you might stumble across some content from the 2018 time period (with a team size of 6) where we were looking to introduce a new continent then, too. While it was certainly feasible, the game would have suffered elsew…

Into September

Oh, hello. Didn't see you there.


Toward the end of next week we'll be updating the Public Test Server with the new release for all to play with. We're still in the polish phase for some elements, but the majority of the update is about wrapped up. Below are some additional changes (mostly unrelated to the New Player Experience portion of the update,) that will be coming along as well. I want to emphasize that these are just some of the bigger beats; there are plenty of quality of life improvements and bug fixes going into this update as well.


When populations are low enough (about 350 people or less,) Koltyr will now unlock as a part of the normal continent rotation. If populations are quite low, it'll be the only continent that is open. This…

New Player Experience Progress

Hey everyone. Figured it was time to let everyone in on how we'll be approaching the New Player Experience update, and what we've got in progress so far.

New Player Experience is a pretty expansive topic that can cover anything from a player's immediate attachment to their character and the world, to the boots-on-the-ground combat experience in their first session. The overarching goal is to do whatever we can to ensure new players stick around for longer than they do currently.

For this particular update, we'll be revamping a few main areas while addressing smaller odds and ends along the way.


We'll be introducing a more modern version of the character create screen that better describes the motivations of each faction, showcases their techn…

NSO Integration Update

With new NSO weapons, NSO vehicles and ever changing faction loyalties, now is the time to join the ranks within the Nanite Systems Operatives.


There have been some changes to how the NSO operate in PlanetSide 2, read about it below.

"Freelance" status is now given to non Daybreak All Access NSO player characters. Each time a non member accesses a continent, they are placed in the lowest populated faction and are considered to be Freelance operatives.

As an All Access member, you have the option of aligning yourself with the VS, NC, or TR faction, allowing you to create, join, and manage an Outfit within that empire.

Chimera Main Battle Tank

The Chimera will be dispatched to provide a heavily armored ground combat platform for the Nanite Systems Operatives faction when the NSOverhaul releases.


A pilot-operated main cannon and forward-mounted secondary turret are complemented by four rumble seat passengers. The Chimera operates as a main battle tank and troop transport hybrid that functions best when all seats are filled, similar to the Colossus Heavy Tank.


Both the main cannon and forward-mounted turret will have three weapon options available upon release.

The standard-issue main cannon is the CT-135, a balanced weapons platform with versatility in anti-infantry and anti-vehicle roles. The CT-150 Cyclops fires a high-velocity sabot payload designed to penetrate heavily armored t…

The Dervish Heavy Fighter

One of two vehicles being released with the NSOverhaul update is the Dervish Heavy Fighter, an air vehicle available to the Nanite Systems Operatives faction.


Unlike its Empire Specific Fighter (ESF) counterparts, the Dervish is a two-seat vehicle that sacrifices agility for durability. The pilot operates nose-mounted forward guns, while a secondary top-gunner can deal with threats ahead, behind, and above. The Dervish is meant as an air superiority fighter, and has limited ground support capabilities.


Both the nose-mounted and top-mounted hardpoints will have three weapon options available during the initial rollout.

The standard DV-22 Raycaster nosegun uses photonically propelled tungsten slugs that remain effective even over long range. Th…

Eighteen Years of PlanetSide

Since the launch of the original PlanetSide on May 20, 2003, the battlefields of Auraxis have evolved and expanded. Today we recognize an eighteen year legacy by inviting pieces of the past into the present.

From May 20 - May 23, we'll be running a Double Experience event for ALL PLAYERS; and the Sanctuary black market dealer, FL-34, has found an old data terminal that reminds of us days past.


The new NS Scorpion rocket launcher has also made its way onto the battlefield. This launcher takes advantage of air-burst detonations to rain explosive bomblets onto foes below.

Chapter 3 is live!

Auraxis celebrates the construction of the first major facility built terrestrially since the war began, a representation of each faction's combined efforts to quell the instability on Esamir.


With the last chapter of our campaign, the roaming energy storm on Esamir has dissipated, now controlled by the new "Containment Sites" that have been constructed. These massive underground facilities bring with them new challenges and gameplay never before seen in PlanetSide 2.


For the PC, this last chapter of The Shattered Warpgate campaign will start May 05, and run through June 30.


While the Campaign will eventually end, Esamir is forever changed, and the Containment Sites are here to stay... or at least until another catastrophe.

Uncontained Enthusiasm (and update progress)

Hey there, folks.

Last weekend we released the Containment Sites, Chapter 03, and additional Esamir changes to the public test server. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with more excitement around a new feature than I've seen in quite some time. More than 2000 players showed up to the public test server over the weekend to prove out the new facility, and boy did we stress test it. Through the weekend playtests, we've noticed a number of issues with the general flow of the new facility that we'd like to address.

To get the update wrapped and ready for Live, we'll be pushing back the Chapter 03 start date and continuing work on the facility. We're currently targeting the update release in the last week of April, and the actual star…

COORDINATED ADVANCED INFANTRY?

Recent developments in the field of Long-term Operational Lethality have yielded astonishing new combat techniques per a peer reviewed study submitted by Professor N. Likethis, a Nanite Systems employee of 89 years. Professor Likethis goes on to describe an amplification of boots-on-the-ground combat potential and awareness using existing tools available to most Empires. His theory posits that Mechanized Exoskeletons, or MAX units, would be capable of supporting the presence of an additional soldier within extremely close proximity, with few mechanical impairments.

Attaching a soldier to the exoskeleton by way of lightweight harness, and equipping them with standard weaponry is expected to increase the damage output of a single MAX unit by …

Progress with Chapter 03

Hey there.

We're still in the process of getting the Containment Site, and some of the other Chapter 03 features ready to share with all of you. The original target date was the 17th for a push to PTS, but we're deciding to lengthen the timeline to ensure we hit the quality bar we're aiming at for this update. This includes getting some community eyes on the facility with a smaller group of testers before it's released to the public test server for all players. This way we give ourselves enough time to make worthwhile changes based on your feedback during its continued development.

The drawback of lengthening this timeline is that we'll also need to push Chapter 03 out until later in April. The can has gotten kicked down the road a few times a…

A Message from Andy Sites

Hello Auraxians,

It’s with a heavy heart that I share with you today that I will be leaving Rogue Planet Games.

I’ve worked on some pretty amazing games over the past 20+ years, but can honestly say that PlanetSide 2 stands out as the one that I’m most proud of. The past year has been especially gratifying as we saw the excitement and anticipation for the future of the PlanetSide franchise return; through the effort of an amazing team of developers here at RPG, as well as a community that never gave up hope.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve established friendships and maintained regular communications with more members of the PS2 community than I can even begin to count. Many of whom have gone out of their way to help further promote and support the…

Producer’s Letter: Daybreak Acquisition and Rogue Planet Games

Hey everyone,

By now, some of you may have heard the news that broke this morning regarding our parent company, Daybreak Games, entering into an acquisition agreement with Enad Global 7 (EG7).

From a business perspective, we’re incredibly excited about the long-term opportunities this announcement presents for us as a studio, and for the PlanetSide universe as a whole. Rogue Planet Games is and will continue to be the vision holder of PlanetSide 2 and the overall franchise – nothing about today’s announcement changes that. It just makes us that much more excited for 2021 and beyond (you can check out our recent 8th Anniversary livestream for a quick peek at what we’ve got planned for next year!).

With the release of The Shattered Warpgate update, we made some ambitious changes to the game that add more structured elements to the sandbox experience we all know and love, while revamping the continent of Esamir. In this post I wanted to point out some observations surrounding the new additions, and the lessons we’ll be taking to heart moving forward.

Back when this all started, the original intent of this update was not a complete overhaul of Esamir, if you can believe it. We were initially focused on fixing Esamir’s imbalanced lattice and using the Warpgate’s detonation as a catalyst for storytelling. Buuuuuut, the more we did, the more we wanted to do, and Esamir ended up better for it overall.


Between the objectives created through M…

Your Launch Day Guide to The Shattered Warpgate!

A strange, alien energy of mysterious origin lurks beneath the surface of Esamir - foreboding, unpredictable, and potentially catastrophic. Welcome to The Shattered Warpgate, soldier!

This massive game update has been (many) months in development, pre-dating even Escalation in some of its feature planning. Not only does The Shattered Warpgate introduce a ton of exciting new features and changes, it strives to weave the lore and story of PlanetSide into a major content update in ways we've never done before. This is arguably our most ambitious update since Construction released over 4 years ago, reflecting our team's commitment to bringing you major biannual releases that permanently evolve and expand the world of Auraxis. After weeks of commu…

PlanetSide Celebrates 17 Years on Auraxis!

Hello Auraxians,

What a start to 2020! Over the last few months, we launched the Escalation update, the Tactical Loadout update, ran our first two Outfit Wars cycles, broke our own World Record, and announced the Colossus Update - just to name a few. The community response has FAR exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful for your loyalty and continued support.

Today is a special birthday - the 17th anniversary since the war-torn world of Auraxis came to be, but also our first as a team under the Rogue Planet banner. We're celebrating in style (with Double XP through the holiday weekend!) but that's just the start of what we have planned. Development on the next few updates continues on schedule, and we can't wait to show o…

Escalation Update: Outfit Wars


One of our major goals with the Escalation game update was to provide dedicated Outfits meaningful endgame content. Outfit Wars not only introduces the first official competitive circuit for Outfits, it also takes players off-planet for the first time in PlanetSide 2 history.

Outfit Wars is a new monthly tournament cycle for aspiring Outfits to prove their valor and compete for the title of Auraxis's best. Outfits can opt-in now, before Qualification begins early next month, and culminates with the 3 top Outfits per Empire per server region (9 total Outfits per server) battling it out in 3 epic 48v48v48 skirmishes on Desolation, an all-new Asteroid continent built for competitive play. To the victor go the spoils, recognition, and glory etern…

Producer’s Letter: Escalation Arrives on March 11

Hello everyone,

Let me start by saying THANK YOU for your patience and support over the past 4 weeks as we’ve been preparing the Escalation update for launch!

As you know, this will be one of the biggest PlanetSide 2 updates we’ve done since launch back in 2012. Not only do we feel an obligation to live up to the immense level of hype surrounding Escalation, but as the newly formed Rogue Planet Games studio, we want to set the tone in terms of quality for all future updates. Which is why we have been MUCH more aggressive playtesting this update on the Public Test Server (PTS) than you may have been accustomed to in the past.

That being said, with any update for a game of this scale, it’s practically impossible to catch every bug, or perfectly tun…

Escalation Launch Update

Hey everyone,

I wanted to provide a brief status report on the Escalation game update.

After reviewing the build that was just published to the Public Test server this afternoon, we have decided to push the live release back by one week to Wednesday, February 26th. We’re close, but as I mentioned during the dev livestream last week, we would hold the release if it’s not ready for primetime.

Based on your reaction over the past week, you’re excited and have very high expectations. I can tell you that the Rogue Planet team shares the same level of excitement and wants to not only meet your expectations, but use the Escalation update to raise the bar going forward. We wouldn’t expect anyone to give us a pass for publishing an update early, if the q…
