250 vs 250 matches
Battle Royale is still a massive craze, so it only makes sense that the largest shooter around would jump in. Daybreak Games has announced thatPlanetSide Arenawill take the popular MMOFPS into the battle royale sub-genre next month. While there will be the standard 100 man game mode we’ve all come to expect, a large scale 250 vs 250 mode will also be present.
CEO of Daybreak, Ji Ham, said, “We are very excited to introducePlanetSide Arenaas the next step in the growth of the franchise, as we continue to invest and build towards our vision for the future of the entirePlanetSideuniverse.” Executive producer Andy Sites added, “PlanetSide Arenawill expand and evolve the franchise with new modes, new technology, and new content, delivered on a scale that onlyPlanetSidecan offer.”
Not limiting itself to battle royale,Arenawill also feature typical shooter game modes like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch and Search and Destroy. There will continually be new game modes added each season, so this could evolve into the next big arena shooter if everything works out right.
Arenawill be heading to Steam on July 17, 2025 (and is currently upfor pre-order). The game will retail for $19.99 for the standard edition and $39.99 for the “Legendary Edition.” That pricer version comes with the “Season 1 Battle Pass”, three class armor sets and the “M-20 Tempest” pack. All pre-orders forArenawill grant beta access, while current activePlanetSide 2players/Daybreak All Access Members will get closed beta access andPlanetSide Arena.
