PlanetSide 2 release date to be announced this Thursday

The game sucks. Are they really going to release this soon

In this week's State of the Game development update, SOE announced the main areas developers are currently working on and promised to give the game a final release date this week. The release date announcement is scheduled during the SOE Live keynote at 10 p.m. EDT (7 p.m. PDT) on Thursday, October 18th.

SOE has promised to have PlanetSide 2 out in 2012, and that leaves some fans skeptical as to whether the beta is far enough along to be released in the next few months.

Comments have said: I really hope they don't launch this year I have played beta and the game doesn't really strike me as being quite ready for launch.
