SEGA revealed this week that Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will finally be launching globally on June 9th, 2021. If you're not already familiar with the game, this particular story has been set a thousand years after the events of PSO2 and the major battle of Oracle. Here you will be going down a new adventure as the heroes of ARKS prepare to defend this brave new world against a mysterious threat looming in the shadows. The game is totally free to play and will be launching everywhere at the same time this coming Wednesday.
