SEGA has announced that its forthcoming MMO, Phantasy Star Online 2, will be headed to both North America and the European Union in 2013. The open beta is currently ongoing in Asia.

“Phantasy Star Online was a revolutionary game when it was released, and we want to make sure that its successor in the series is every bit as ambitious,” said Chris Olson, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “We look forward to introducing Phantasy Star Online 2’s unique, easy-to-access multiplayer action to the rest of the world next year!”
