A press release published by Phantasy Star Online community site, PSO World, suggests the free-to-play MMO action-RPG will launch in North America and Europe in “early 2013.”
PSO World, a Phantasy Star Online community site, published a press release earlier today that states the long-awaited sequel to the Dreamcast’s 2001 original Phantasy Star Online will arrive early next year. The site stated that an official announcement is expected from Sega later today.
The press release reads:
