The new engine created specifically for Planetside 2, called ForgeLight, is so successful that the development team at Sony Online Entertainment will use it for all future MMO projects.

The news was delivered by Tramell Isaac, the art director working on Planetside 2, who praised the ability of the technology to Shacknews.

He states, “We can put 2,000 people on a server, and we can have all those guys running at 60fps. We can have upwards of 200 on screen at one time.”

The developer says that no other MMO has the same features, and that ForgeLight also delivers graphics that are comparable to those of any other pure shooter on the market.

SOE has not yet announced any big future projects and is currently focused on adding more content for Planetside 2.
