SEGA has announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will release on June 9th. New Genesis is set a thousand years after the events of PSO2, and will be free to play.
Fred White from PSO2 Team Global said:
“After our successful closed beta test last month, we are now ready to share the official launch date for Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis. On June 9th we will be launching globally, opening up the gateway to the brand new world of Halpha for ARKS across the planet! The date marks not only a monumental game launch, but also the continuance of storyline in the long-beloved Phantasy Star series. We can’t wait to enter this new chapter together with players!”

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
