Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Is Heading West to PS4 This August

The free-to-play title PSO2: New Genesis will be launching on Playstation 4 in the west finally on August 31st. The game originally launched for the west back in 2021, coming to platformsXbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. However, a Playstation 4 version was nowhere to be seen. The original title was also released on PS Vita but back in 2013.

The New Genesis version will be making its way to PS4 for the west, almost a decade after it was released in Japan. The New Genesis version ties in directly with the original game, but is set a thousand years after the events of Phantasy Star Online 2. The game is free to play with action combat.

The newer versions also bring updated combat systems and exploration in a big open world. Players can still see the same characters between the versions of the game, with original gear from the previous game carrying over, but with a slight update. Character’s experience, skills and most currencies won’t transfer. Good news as the game is cross-platform compatible with PC and Xbox One versions. PSO2 is celebrating its 10th anniversary since its launch in Japan.
