The Xbox Games Showcase announced the Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis game on Thursday for release in 2021.
The “massive update” will mark the 20th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online and launch instead of a new episode after the release of Phantasy Star Online 2’s Episode 6.
The Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis open-field online role-playing game will feature an upgraded graphics engine and game system.
The game’s official website notes that the “twin universes” of Phantasy Star Online 2 and Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis “exist side by side,” and players will be able to switch between the two.
