Recently, Sega opened up a teaser page to count down to a new RPG. Some believed this would turn out to be the seemingly already confirmed Phantasy Star Portable 2. They would be right.

A forthcoming issue of Famitsu presents a multi-page spread concerning the currently in-development title.  The game will feature a storyline three years removed from the current events of Phantasy Star Universe, Ambition of the Illuminus, and the original Phantasy Star Portable.  New content and new story characters are referenced and shown in the article.  We'll be sure to post more information as it comes in.

Thanks to EspioKaos for bringing in these details. His post is part of an ongoing discussion about the sequel in the forums.
