John Smedley tweeted just a few minutes ago to stay tuned at SOE Fan Faire for big announcement!

For all you Planetside Next fans stay tuned for a big announcement at our upcoming Fan Faire in Vegas!

Awesome news! Fan Faire will be July 7th through the 9th in Las Vegas. We will be keeping a close eye on the event.

SOE's open world MMOFPS PlanetSide Next will be officially called PlanetSide 2, according to the game's Chinese publisher The9. Tony Park, Vice President of The9, said on his Micro-blog(Chinese twitter) that SOE's developer team had decided to title the game PlanetSide 2 as the working title PlanetSide Next was not a suitable name any longer. Besides, he revealed a picture of the map and some information about the gameplay.
It was revealed on a meeting in San Diego, and you can see on the screen that SOE has used PlanetSide 2, and massive warfare will be one of the key features of the game.
The words on the screen: 4km × 4km map, multiple bases, several continents, distinct biospheres, unique gameplay areas.
Although we have seen numbers of pictures and some gameplay information of the PlanetSide 2, the game hasn't been officially announced yet. Currently, 3 SOE MMOs have been confirmed for E3 2011. They are DC Universe Online, Free Realms, and Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventure. Since The Agency has been cancelled, PlanetSide is the only new MMO that we can anticipate in 2011 from SOE. SOE should bring us somthing new at E3, shouldn't they?
