Sony Online Entertainment‘s started a new series of videos for anxious PlanetSide 2 fans, called the Command Center, and the first installment has a big announcement: The beta will commence within the next month.

Hosts Tramell Isaac and Matt Higby, a.k.a. the senior art director and creative director for the game, address a number of topics in the 20-minute show, but they start with Executive Producer Josh Hackney, who says that the beta will include “hardcore” PlanetSide players and select players who’ve received beta keys.

Of course, the crew pimps SOE Live, which takes place in Las Vegas Oct. 18-21, where Hackney promises a tournament for PS2 fans as well as loads of other special events.

The rest of the show includes looks at costumes, a recap of E3, and a sweet trailer video for the infiltrator archetype in the game.

If you’re a PS2 fan, you should definitely take the time to check it out!

    Beta is probably this weekend Higby is getting his hair cut in 6 hours. In January he said he would not cut it until the beta. You should probably do a break on this, it’s huge news

    From what I’ve heard they are only letting in old school Planetside 1 players and maybe a few early beta test entries at this point…

    According to Planetside Universe, external testing will be kicking off this weekend, opening up and inviting players in multiple phases or stages (vets and those holding priority beta keys prioritized).

    Be there or be square!

      An MMO FPS that is a sequel to Planetside 1 isn’t a very complex concept to wrap your head around, bro.

    So many videos to watch still on content but regardless it looks very great from what I can tell…. the only thing that bugs me still is the objective capturing in this game since I have been wondering how it will work. But judge not and to not be judged. Still love the look of the Infiltration units.
