Planetside 2 arriving in 2012, instant paid-for beta access available

We first took a look at the Planetside 2 trailer in July this year, and while the release date for the game has yet to be revealed, here we are with official word that Planetside 2 will be rolling out to the masses (drumroll please)…before December 31st this year. This would mean there are nearly 4 months left to go, and with each passing day, the chances of Planetside 2 being released increases. Of course, it would be a bummer to see the game miss the Christmas release date, considering that is when most companies enjoy a huge boost in sales figures due to the season of giving and all that.

Good news, however, that the instant paid-for beta access for all has been made available since a couple of days ago. The new members package that the developer recently announced, Alpha Squad, lets you “pay your way” so to speak, into Planetside 2 beta. Alpha Squad will cost $39.99/£29.99, while paving the way for instant access to the ongoing beta in addition to 4,000 Station Cash upfront, which is actually Planetside’s in-game currency.
