Phantasy Star Online 2 delayed in North America

[Limni]

Seems it was obvious but at least the silence has been broken for now.

Phantasy Star Online 2, Sonic Team's online action-RPG which launched for Windows PCs in Japan last July, has been delayed in North America, publisher Sega told Polygon today.

The game never received a formal release date in North America, only being targeted for an "early 2013" release. Considering we're nearly out of the first quarter of the year with no word on the title's release plans, it seemed unlikely that the game would hit that goal, despite being playable last year at PAX Prime.

"Originally slated for an early 2013 launch, SEGA can officially confirm that PS02 has been delayed," a Sega spokesperson told Polygon. "We don't have any specifics but will update everyone as soon as there are more details to share."

The title was also ported to Japanese PS Vitas in February of this year.

This much was obvious from the start. (Directed towards sega)

What in the unholy name of ass is this? They don't even have a single detail aside from not making the intended release datee? Update us? Don't make me raugh.

"We don't have any specifics but will update everyone as soon as there are more details to share."

Look forward to our next announcement concerning the Western release of PSO2 at PAX 2014!

A solid proof to slap onto the "When" question. :3

I said somewhere before that they'll tell us when they have something interesting to tell. Guess I was right about that.

you would expect like 20 pages of posts in this thread within the first minute, considering the dozens of threads questioning the release.

Well, at least they said something, even if it was the bleeding obvious.
