Others mock the constant delays. Some believe that the surprise release of Apex Legends might be related to the situation.
How could Apex Legends have played a role here? Apex Legends appeared out of nowhere and is immensely successful. Over 25 million players have already been reached by the developer studio Respawn. Players have shown enthusiasm for the battle royale shooter, which is even free-to-play.
Planetside Arena aims to ride on the coattails of Apex Legends: the shooter from Daybreak Games is also a battle royale. It is conceivable that the developers have seen some things in Apex Legends that they would like to incorporate into their game or that led to the need for optimizations and changes. The free-to-play model will likely play a role as well. After all, Planetside Arena is set to be released as a buy-to-play title. Whether it can compete with free competitors is the question.
Thus, TheRumBy writes on Reddit: “In its current state and at this price, Planetside Arena will flop.”
Why is Planetside Arena struggling? If you look at some reactions on Reddit, the shooter from Daybreak Games has a general problem. Fans of the Planetside series fear that the series may lose its identity with Arena.
Until now, Planetside was all about massive battles with vehicles, air combat, and tactical components. However, the battle royale variant simplifies things a bit and reduces the size of the battles. Many fans do not like this, and they express criticism of the concept.
Therefore, Daybreak Games not only has to develop an online game that can survive in the fiercely competitive battle royale market with Planetside Arena but also one that appeals to and excites the fans of the earlier installments. This is not easy. Hence, it is quite understandable that the developers want to take more time now.

The battle royale shooter Planetside Arena was announced in December 2018. However, in January, the developer studio Daybreak Games announced that the release would be postponed to the end of March. However, this date cannot be met either. The community is now speculating that Apex Legends might be involved.
When is the launch of Planetside Arena being postponed? Daybreak Games announced a further delay of the online shooter Planetside Arena.
Instead of being released on March 26, the game will now be launched in the summer of 2019. A specific date will be announced later.
What are the reasons for the delay? In a developer letter, the team explains that they still need time to provide a polished version that can meet player expectations. The team does not specify precisely what is happening.
What effects does this have? The Founders Season has been canceled. All those who pre-ordered Planetside Arena on Steam can request a refund. Additionally, the beta tests will now continue.
Furthermore, the PC and PlayStation 4 versions are now set to be released simultaneously.
The community is divided
How are players reacting? Reactions on Reddit are mixed. Beta testers state that the delay was necessary, as the game currently seems to be in a rather unfinished and unstable state. Crashes are reported frequently, and bugs plague the gameplay. However, there is potential.
