SEGA made a few announcements via their official Phantasy Star Online 2 Twitter account today, and one of them is the reveal of the release date for the PS4 version of Phantasy Star Online 2. The game will be launching in spring 2016, and SEGA will also be holding a closed beta test near the end of February. Additionally, they also stated that no PlayStation Plus subscription will be required to play the game.
Unfortunately, the game’s scheduled launch in the West on PC has been delayed indefinitely. To add to the disappointment, SEGA outright stated earlier this year that they are “currently not planning to release the PS4 version of Phantasy Star Online 2 outside of Japan”. It’s a statement that’s a bit hard to believe, given that of the 30 million PS4’s that have been sold so far worldwide, only 2 million of those were sold in Japan. Let’s hope that SEGA, despite their earlier claims, are in fact looking into releasing the PS4 version in the West.
