SOE boss John Smedley promised that we would get a solid release date for PlanetSide 2 during the SOE Live keynote tonight, a promise that was delivered despite a few hiccups with the SOE Live stream event. PlanetSide 2 will reignite the war for Auraxis when it officially launches on November 20th, 2012.

While PlanetSide 2 is free-to-play, pre-orders for the Alpha Squad pack is still available on the PlanetSide 2 website.
