PSO2: NGS features new and improved action combat and character customization, allowing for more flexibility and expression than ever before. Spring 2020 it is.Set 1,000 years after the events of Phantasy Star Online 2, Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis takes place on Halpha, a planet on which ARKS (soldiers of the Oracle colony fleet in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series) are locked in a battle for dominance against the mysterious DOLLS.
We got our wish, and this could open the door for more platforms in the future. Hell, Sega is currently sorting out issues in the Europe, Middle-East, and Africa regions, so “west” is a bit of a misnomer, as PSO 2 is currently only confirmed for North America at the moment.īut still, after all this time, a win is a win. The word “Xbox exclusive” in any format is enough to piss people off, and Sega knows what’s up as they closed the comments for the official E3 trailer. Check! The bad news? Right now it’s just confirmed as an Xbox console exclusive. Confirmation, check! Second, this doesn’t seem to be a half-assed port, as “all content” is being teased with this western edition (read: up to “Chapter/Season 6”). I even asked a Sega developer at TGS when previewing PSO 2 on PS4 (which was lovely by the way) if it was going to happen and he remained stone-faced (what a champion, never broke character).

To remedy this, let’s say, “oversight,” fans took it upon themselves to release unofficial PC launchers that essentially soft localized the game so that everyone could play it.īut that data is housed in regional servers (a few people I’ve spoken to have lost access to their accounts) and not everyone is going to want to go through that amount of effort (especially if they don’t want play it on PC) to actually play it. It was on basically everything…it just wasn’t localized. Sega really went all-out for PSO 2 over in their home region of Japan, and over the course of nearly a decade, Sega would port PSO 2 from the PC to the Vita, to the PS4, to the Switch (cloud edition), and even mobile platforms. Yes, Sega has sat on their hands for seven years regarding the fate of PSO 2 in the west, while they celebrate with lavish Japanese-only events like Attack on Titan invasions, Sonic-themed lobbies, and even Muv-Luv collaborations. That’s a trailer for the “western version of Phantasy Star Online 2.” Now enhance that image. Mic drop.įeast your eyes on this bad boy right here.
The free-to-play Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to PC and Xbox One in 2020 with cross-play. This totally would have been a Sony thing to do during their conference given that PSO 2 has been out on Vita since 2013 and PS4 since 2016. So did countless others.Īnd for seven long years we’ve been waiting for Sega to announce a localization of Phantasy Star Online 2, which happened today thanks to Microsoft. Once upon a time Phantasy Star Online was, in part, synonymous with the Xbox platform.īack when it wasn’t so easy to get online on every console, Xbox Live was there to shoulder the weight: so long as you were willing to pay for both Xbox Live Gold and for Sega’s “Hunt Pass” to play PSO on the original Xbox.
