Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to PS4 in 2016, still no word on Western release

The western-elusive Phantasy Star Online 2 is making the jump to the PlayStation 4 in Japan next year, bringing along a brand-new episode.

The news comes out of the recent ARKS Festival, where Sega confirmed that the title will be heading to the PS4 in 2016. This means that Phantasy Star Online 2 will be on three platforms, including the Vita and PC. The PlayStation 4 version will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later this year.

There is still no word as to when — if ever — Phantasy Star Online 2 will be coming to North American and European audiences. The game is heavily IP locked, making it difficult for overseas gamers to join in on the fun.
