Xbox 360 owners will be excited to hear that Sega is planning to release Phantasy Star Universe, their exciting MMO, on the Xbox 360 system alongside the PS2 and PC versions.
The Phantasy Star franchise began in 1988 and has “revolutionized the RPG genre by creating new standards through innovative gameplay and online capability.” The upcoming game will allow gamers to have two complete RPG experiences with a single-player action adventure spanning multiple planets, and an online multiplayer component that will support Xbox Live. In Online Mode, players will be able to create their own characters from a range of races. They will be able to travel with their friends as a squad of six adventurers through three planets in the Gurhal system. Choose between over 200 weapon variations in over twenty weapon categories for melee, technique, or ranged-type combat.
“The reinvigoration of this beloved franchise on the Xbox 360 signifies another step for Sega towards next-gen leadership,” commented Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Entertainment Marketing for Sega. “Phantasy Star has a rich history, and now with Phantasy Star Universe in support of the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, gamers can enjoy a fantasy role-playing experience of unprecedented depth both online with their friends, and offline in the robust single-player game.”
