If you’re looking for some MMO experiences for the PS4 later this year, you’re in luck! Sony Online Entertainment announced that they are bringing the free-to-play MMOs PlanetSide 2 and DC Universe Online to the PS4. At this point there is no definite release date, though I would expect them to be available as a download for the PS4 at launch.
ForDC Universe, this isn’t its first rodeo on consoles. It was the first MMO available for the PS3, and according to senior vice president Laura Naviaux “its thriving community is proof that we can create an exciting and robust console experience for players.” Considering how the PS4 won’t have backwards compatibility with the PS3 it’s not a surprise to see them take such a popular game and bring it to the PS4.
PlanetSide 2 however is a bit of a different story. Until now it’s only been available for the PC, though it’s certainly popular enough to see why SOE would go ahead and bring it to the PS4. “Players have been asking for PlanetSide 2 to be playable on consoles, and PS4 is the ideal platform to showcase the game’s beauty, depth and frenetic open world combat,” Ms. Naviaux said, and really, I have no reason to doubt her.
