Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley has confirmed that the upcoming sequel to massively multiplayer shooter PlanetSide will be available to play at no cost.
Regarding monetization specifics, Smedley mentioned that he "liked League of Legends a lot," hinting that PlanetSide 2 game might follow that title's model of selling permanent access to certain characters and skins.
"I said I liked [the auction house idea] and thought it would help with farmers and that we were doing it years ago with Station Exchange, [but] it has nothing to do with PlanetSide 2 whatsoever."
Smedley also said he expects the game's planned beta, first announced in July, to hit later this year or early next year.
