Daybreak Game Company has revealed the next big expansion coming to Planetside 2. Escalation is now live on the public test server and introduces a bunch of new gameplay systems including the massive Bastion war machine that can be called in to rip the battlefield a new hole.
“Each Outfit now has access to their own Bastion! This massive interplanetary craft can be called into battle once refueled and rearmed. The Bastion is the ultimate force multiplier on the battlefield, capable of engaging enemies at long distances with mannable turrets, and serving as an air vehicle spawn point for your Outfit. They require a coordinated effort to bring down (multiple weak points must be destroyed), and when an Outfit calls one planetside, their enemies must respond or risk being overwhelmed!”
The livestream showing off upcoming content changes can be seen above with more details available on the official website.
