As a reminder, PlanetSide Arena is a futuristic FPS focusing on huge skirmishes on vast maps (8 km2). In combat we can use various vehicles and jetpacks, as well as the unique abilities of the three available classes. Currently, we can only test ourselves in two variants of the game. In Squads we take part in the battle of twelve-person teams for up to 300 players, and in Teams we compete in three-person teams with up to 150 participants. The full version is to offer an even larger scale, allowing us to play in a group of thousands of people. Creators also plan to add new game modes, including Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch and special events. For now, however, it is necessary to see how the current version of PlanetSide Arena will be accepted. The title will debut in the second quarter of 2020 on PC and PlayStation 4.
