Phantasy Star Online 2 is launching west after years of wait for Xbox One and PC.

Here it is boys and girls. After years since it’s initial launch on PC in Japan in 2012, and years after Sega promising to bring the game to the west, Phantasy Star Online 2, is finally coming. The game will be launching in Spring 2020 on PC and Xbox One. Sega announced during the Xbox E3 2019 conference. Players on each platform will be able to play together.

It’s worth noting that this is an exclusive deal for the west with Sega and Microsoft, as Phantasy Star Online 2 is available on PS4 in Japan, and on Switch with a Cloud version. A PS Vita version is available there as well.

A trailer showcasing multiple opening sequences for each of Phantasy Star Online 2‘s Episodes was shown as well. The trailer promises that PSO2 will be launching in the west with all the content and updates currently available on the Japanese version, which is at Episode 6.

It’s worth noting that Phantasy Star Online 2 has a dedicated English community, who already fully fan translated the game and quickly updates to include all the new content added with each update. Most people who wished to try out the game already did by now.

It’ll be interesting to see how many players start the game now, and how many who already play will be motivated to play on the western server too. I’ve personally already played over 1000 hours of the Japanese version and currently burned out from it.

You can catch the announcement trailer below.
