Last fall hints started popping up on the internet that indicated Sony Online was planning to launch some kind of revival of their first person shooter MMO PlanetSide. Now the game's official web site has started a mysterious countdown that seems to be heading to some sort of announcement sometime in mid-May.

Fan site Planetside Universe claims according to their own unnamed sources that the countdown is supposed to be a teaser to something related to the upcoming seventh anniversary of the launch of PlanetSide. That could still mean that Sony Online is prepping us for some kind of sequel or reboot of the game. The fact that the countdown will conclude a few weeks before E3 would seem to indicate some kind of major announcement.
