Where else but Tokyo Game Show
Sega’s giving us more news next week aboutPhantasy Star Online 2‘s glow-up. What better place than Tokyo Game Show?
Next Friday, there’s a bigPhantasy Star Online 2: New Genesisstream where Sega will show the first gameplay of this remadePSO2. It kicks off on September 25 at 5am Pacific.
If you missedthe announcementback in July,New Genesisis a complete overhaul ofPSO2. New engine, improved visuals, new mechanics, a more detailed character creation system,the characters’ fingers move now— it’s a major undertaking. If I had more emphasis-giving formatting options, I’d have used them.
However,New Genesisisn’t replacingPSO2. The two of them will exist in parallel, meaning that players can jump back and forth between the new and old versions. They’re both playable, accounts have full functionality betweenPSO2andNew Genesis, and you’ll always have the option of picking whichever one you want to hop into.
New Genesisis coming to PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X sometime in 2021. It’ll be on PC, PS5, and Switch in Japan. Just like with the basePSO2,New Genesiswill be free-to-play.
