We’re giving away 50 Recruit and Legendary editions for Planetside Arena!

Shoot your mates across 64 square kilometers and look good doing it

Planetside Arena has a noble legacy. Its predecessor, 2012’s Planetside 2, pioneered the idea of mass-scale multiplayer battles as part of a persistent sci-fi war. It even set a Guinness World Record for the biggest battle in a first-person shooter, with over 1,158 players recorded in a single match.

Arena, which launched into Steam Early Access yesterday, takes this vision into the modern era of action gaming. While match sizes are currently capped at 300 players, it is built to support up to 1,000, and will scale up as the game develops. Its map is 64 square kilometers in size, and you get a range of cool sci-fi vehicles in which to traverse it, including tanks, ATVs, jetpacks, and more.

Arena adds the option of a third-person perspective and refines its predecessor’s class system and skill trees, adding further depth to the Planetside sandbox of team-based infantry tactics.
