Sony Online Entertainment has been doing some housecleaning and reorganizing for PlanetSide 2 and has updated its developer roadmap for the game's next six months. The developers have outlined a tentative schedule of updates for the next six months of the game's life cycle, including a tentative May release for the long-awaited Hossin continent.

The updated developer roadmap currently looks like this, with several milestones tentative:

• January - performance improvements, Player Studio updates, spawn changes for both players and vehicles

• February - mission system update, Infiltrator class update, voiceover packs, camo bundles, death screen update

• March - outfit recruiting, outfit base capture refinement, Liberator class refresh, additional melee weapon customization, Player Studio attachments for the Harasser weapon

• April - Combat Medic class update, Directives (introducing session-to-session goals), integrated tutorials, new alert types, outfit leaderboards

• May - Hossin continent, continent locking, Sunderer vehicle update, Light Assault class revamp

• June - resource system revamp, new alert type

The updates will roll out over the course of PS2's recently-announced weekly updates.

One item that's currently not mapped out is the game's upcoming PlayStation 4 version, as SOE continues to keep developments related to the console version close to their chest.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
