Wolfman will write a series of episodic backstory fiction that will be released on PlanetSide2.com detailing the enigmatic backdrop of planet Auraxis. According to the presser, Wolfman will ”re-image and bring to life the rich and storied history of the planet and its people, set up the inevitable conflict between the iconic factions, and create an exciting and compelling interwoven narrative that will expand each soldier’s personal journey.”
This will not be the first collaboration between SOE and Wolfman. The writer also wrote the backstory for the DC Comics-based MMO DC Universe Online. “I’m thrilled to be working with SOE again,” Wolfman stated. ”Not only do I get to take elements from the original PlanetSide and further develop an extensive backstory that can help players more fully understand this incredible new world, but even better, I get to create dozens of individual characters that I hope will help bring alive the story of PlanetSide 2 for the entire player community.”
Wolfman is best known for his work on The New Teen Titans, which revitalized DC Comics’ increasingly stale comic stories. He also worked on the iconic, best-known crossover series Crisis on Infinite Earths, which revamped the entire DC universe. His best known single comic was A Death in the Family, which infamously killed off the second Robin, Jason Todd.
