SOE's open world MMOFPS PlanetSide Next will be officially called PlanetSide 2, according to the game's Chinese publisher The9. Tony Park, Vice President of The9, said on his Micro-blog(Chinese twitter) that SOE's developer team had decided to title the game PlanetSide 2 as the working title PlanetSide Next was not a suitable name any longer. Besides, he revealed a picture of the map and some information about the gameplay.

Although we have seen numbers of pictures and some gameplay information of the PlanetSide 2, the game hasn't been officially announced yet. Currently, 3 SOE MMOs have been confirmed for E3 2011. They are DC Universe Online, Free Realms, and Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventure. Since The Agency has been cancelled, PlanetSide is the only new MMO that we can anticipate in 2011 from SOE. SOE should bring us somthing new at E3, shouldn't they?
