To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Phantasy Star Online franchise, Sega has announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 will get an anime adaption named Phantasy Star Online 2 The Animation. Little is known about the project, other than that it will have an original storyline which takes place on Earth in the near future. You can find the official website for the project here. The anime is scheduled to be released in 2016.
Of course, the announcement of the anime only reminds us of the fact that Phantasy Star Online 2 still hasn’t been released in the West. Many have given up on seeing the game localized, although Sega still hasn’t officially canceled the title. As unlikely as it may seem, we still hope to see a surprise announcement for the game.
