Everquest sequel heading to PS4, Planetside 2 due in the first half of this year....

During an AMAA-style (Ask me Almost Anything) Q&A on Reddit Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley dropped a few bombs that PS4 fans will love.

First of all he confirmed that the upcoming MMORPG EverQuest Next will be heading to PS4. He teased the possibility before, but this is the first time he announces it clearly:

Yes. We will absolutely be bringing EQN to the Playstation 4!

Then he also gave a timeframe for Planetside 2‘s release on Sony’s new console:

First half of this year is what we’re shooting for. It’s taking time to do this right but coming along great.


Must say I'm so far impressed with Sony's F2P offerings, none of the games seem to have a pay 2 win attitude but instead look to get you hooked first...

That is really good news for PS4 gamers.

Planetside 2 is fantastic and no reason it can't be as good as the PC version and these free to play MMOs are at least offering console gaming some more variety.

I really fancy Planetside 2. Not sure whether to give the PC version a crack first or wait till I get a PS4 and it launches on there.
