PlanetSide 2’s Water Continent Oshur delayed until January

‘This is the season of giving – but also the season of giving, if you are Planet area 2 fan.

First Bad News: New Water Continent, Oshur, was originally scheduled will appear in the game this week, but those plans have changed. “After re-evaluating the remaining work and calculating the time off for the holidays, the earliest we would like to release Oshur at this point would be January,” said lead designer Michael “Wrel” “Henderson wrote in a blog post last week.

In the meantime, you can see how water mechanics is progressing in this article, including edits to “ocean side foam”, “underwater sky file”, and “armored attack dolphin”. OK, I’ve done that in the end, but that wouldn’t be interesting would it?

In even better news, it is Auraximas time again in PlanetSide 2, and this year’s festival once again features soldiers blowing up snowmen for XP and completing quests to earn holiday-themed rewards. Every weekend (Saturday to Monday) this month is also a double XP weekend for free and VIP players, and there are plenty of discounts on bundles in the store.
