PSO2: New Genesis Global Release Date Revealed
Yes, in a surprising Tweet made yesterday, it turns out Sega’s highly anticipated Anime MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis has a confirmed release date! Not only for its global Closed Beta test, but also for its official global launch!
According to the Tweet,
“We’re excited to confirm that PSO2 NEW GENESIS will be launching this June!~
This and so much more was confirmed as part of our ‘Prologue 3’ livestream early this morning~ Missed it? The stream is available to view now on our YouTube channel!”
It’s gone on to receive thousands of Likes and Retweets since, with players exclaiming their excitement that they’re finally going to have another new MMORPG to play. And not just any MMO: This is something players have been eagerly anticipating for the better half of a year by this point as PSO2: New Genesis is a drastic departure from the franchise, providing massively overhauled graphics, combat and providing larger zones for players to explore (comparatively to its traditional linear environments,) and allowing for significantly expanded party play, allowing for many additional players to occupy the same world even when not partied with the player.
