From Press Release:
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – January 26, 2022 – Rogue Planet Games today launched Expedition: Oshur, the latest major update in PlanetSide 2, the award-winning massively multiplayer online first-person shooter game currently available on PC and PlayStation 4.
The Expedition: Oshur update reveals the lost isles of Oshur, the first water-based continent ever released in the game. Players will discover new tropical, savannah, and coral reef biomes, with 900 combatants waging war by land, air, and sea.
Some of the key features of Expedition: Oshur include:
TWO MAJOR FACILITIES
-
Two new base archetypes, called “Facilities” are introduced: the Interlink Outpost and Trident Relay. The Interlink Outpost is a small, cover-dense infantry arena with narrow points of entry and exit. The Trident Relay is a tall spire with combat taking place high above the seabed, aircraft are required to reach and assault this facility.
WATER-BASED WARFARE
-
Functional water comes to PlanetSide 2 for the first time, allowing for a new dimension of gameplay above and beneath.
-
Every vehicle, player, and projectile has been re-engineered to work with these new mechanics.
CAMPAIGN MISSIONS
-
The last chapter of the second Campaign focuses on the return to Oshur, an island evacuated in the early days of the Auraxian War. This chapter will bring players to hidden locations around the map and help players acclimate to the new water mechanics.
UNDERWATER WEAPONS
-
Players can now unlock four new underwater infantry weapons, including the UBR-100 Frogman, an underwater assault rifle.
