The US PlayStation 4 version of PlanetSide 2 is getting a large game update tomorrow, September 9, which will shut down the servers for around two hours.
On the official Daybreak forums, it was revealed that the game’s servers will go down at around 6:00 am Pacific time tomorrow, and will come back at around 8:00 am. During that time, a number of bugs will be fixed and changes will be implemented.
Originally, the update was planned for September 1, but after a slightly disastrous launch in Europe, it was pushed until the 9th. Hopefully, the US PlanetSide 2 update will release without any issues. Check out the patch notes to see what changes will be made tomorrow:
Platoons
- Support has been added for platoons. A platoon is a collection of up to four squads working together to accomplish objectives.
- When there are 3 or more players in a squad a platoon can be created. Players can be shifted to different squads by selecting them and choosing the squad where they should be transferred.
Misc
- Added support to change the colors that display on nameplates and the map for the different empires.
