Sega currently has ‘no plans’ to release the popular multiplayer RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 outside of Japan for the PS4, despite confirming last week that the title would make its way onto the console in 2016.
The action-heavy sci-fi/fantasy game was originally released for PC and PS Vita in Japan in 2012 and 2013, respectively, and although Sega teased a Western release for the title all the way back at PAX 2012, it has remained silent on the issue ever since (besides confirming it was still delayed in 2014).
In light of last week’s announcement, we reached out to Sega regarding a possible Western release for the long-awaited title. In a short statement released to Power Up Gaming, a Sega spokesman said: “Sega is currently not planning to release the PS4 version of Phantasy Star Online 2 outside of Japan.”
