The Japanese Phantasy Star Online 2 Pre-Open Beta has been scheduled for June 15th and June 16th. The playtime window will be limited each day to the following hours:
  • Eastern Standard Time: 6am to 11am
  • Pacific Standard Time: 3am to 8am

Character data will be wiped once the Pre-Open Beta is completed. Also, characters will receive a code for a Bouquet Rifle if a specific Desert Mission is completed. The Bouquet Rifle will be delivered to users sometime during the Open Beta test.
If the Pre-Open Beta is successful, the Open Beta will start immediately after Pre-Open Beta ends.
