Why would anyone play this additional generic mode in a dead game over PlanetSide 2 or other shooters? They've already lost the player interest with a poor first impression. Many of the mechanics developed for this mode will be used in future modes like Massive Clash, so our focus is function over form, allowing quick iteration with your help. It will include a new mode-specific map, capture points, ability to drop-in/out throughout the match, a broader range of vehicle types, etc. we’re actively working on a new (non-BR) mode that incorporates many of the gameplay elements that make PlanetSide such an amazing experience, but in the form of shorter, session-based matches.

Just one person in a game that's supposed to be running matches with hundreds of players. So has everyone else apparently since today, November 12, 2019, marks the day where PlanetSide Arena hit an all-time low of 1 player. We tried last week, waited a long time for nothing, and then uninstalled. Instead, the delayed early access title can't even fill a single session. Despite being a free-to-play, virtually no one is playing the battle royale spinoff of PlanetSide 2. Daybreak Game Company's PlanetSide Arena is dead.
