Some new details have emerged as to what the new episode will entail. First, New weapons have been given images and names.
Secondly, more monsters have been revealed, along with their attacks, and their names. I'll update with english names as soon as I can get them translated.
 This monster has a double strike attack punching when the enemy is near, and spits flames when the enemy is far away.
 This monster is of the dark element, and has the ability to create a mirror image of itself.
 This monster has the ability to attack from under the ground.
Also the story has been released, here is a rough sketch of what it is translated as.
A meteorite approaches near planet Ragol according to the analysis of pioneer 2
But there is no danger of collision for both Ragol or Pioneer 2
However a strange light appears from Ragol hitting the meteorite, and changes its destination...to Ragol.
The impact causes a huge crater to be left on Ragol's surface.
And even now a strange light is coming from within that crater.
The impact crater on Ragol is now to be investigated to discover what caused the collision, and what that light is...
Update: Ok, I have translations. The sword is "Daisy Chain" the Dagger is "Daylight Scar" and the rifle is "Le Onia." So for the monsters, The first is "Astok", the second is "Golan", and the last is "Melissa-A." Thanks to Navinator, Bastalion, Zelutos, and Arislan for helping in the translation.

IGN Reported this today in their PC news: April 13, 2004 - As reported in our recent Gaming Life in Japan, the latest Phantasy Star Online game is coming to the PC. Blue Burst is actually just the PC version of Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 & 2 which already appeared on GameCube and Xbox. However, there are a few changes in store. You can now access shortcut commands, visible at the bottom of the screen. A new character, Momoka, appears in the game's lobby area and offers up new quests. More exciting is the new "Team System," where you hook up with team members and can even communicate with one another from across different ships. There is also the promise of improvements in a few areas that have gotten a bit stale in the PSO world. Sonic Team has mentioned improved graphics and control. We're not sure how much these areas will be improved, but with the PSO engine being a few years old now, we'll take any additions. The biggest change appears to serve as a good means of keeping people from cheating. Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst is an online-only experience. Character data is now stored on the game servers far out of reach from those who would modify their characters to give them an advantage in battle. A closed Beta test for Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst began recently in Japan, meaning an official release for the game should happen shortly.

lollipoplolita writes, " The official Blue Burst website is up and running.The site goes on to say that there will be many new elements to this version of PSO featuring game masters that will establish order in the communities, a new "team system," server side saving to preserve character data, increased polygons, new graphics and new interactivity. The same old 12 character classes still exist and there are no new character classes. The new team system will let you register teams with the server and be known by that team which will enable you to create mini communities. Once you have a team made, you have your own real time chat channel that runs independently of what ship/game you are in. You can view more screenshots of PSOBB in our Screenshots section A new character will appear in the principal's room which introduces a Episode 2 new storyline through a new Episode 2 quest category: "The Principals Prefecture". 
The free closed beta trial will start on Friday, April 9th at 7pm JP time and participants have already been picked. ST apologizes for not being able to cater to everyone. For those of you that made it into the trial, please do not connect tot he game server before the starting time. The ASOBITTO city mall event on Sunday, April 4th, was a huge success and many people showed up to get a chance to play the trial. Closed beta trial kits and special mousepads were distributed to the people who showed up. All 500 kits were given out in less than 20 minutes. "

While it has been known for a while that Blue Burst was going to have a new episode, it was never clear where it was going to lie in the PSO time line. Some speculated that It was going to be named Episode III, while Episode III on the Gamecube was going to be renamed Gaiden. However a new image that has been released by SEGA has now led to speculation that the new Episode will be named as Episode IV.
The original source on this can be found here. The filename that is that picture is "ep4.jpg" and this only leads to speculation to where the new Blue Burst episode could be in the PSO timeline, given that Episode III happens 21 years after the events of Episode I & II.
