Announced at the Xbox Game Showcase, New Genesis: Phantasy Star Online 2 had some fans perplexed at what exactly the title’s status was: an expansion, sequel, or reboot. Its graphical fidelity and open world was far above what Phantasy Star Online 2 is currently capable of, though most of its animation and gameplay remained the same. Sega’s community managers clarified on the official Facebook page that New Genesis is in fact a relaunch of the game, and that existing characters will cross over to the new next-gen engine.
Such an ambitious MMO reboot worked in the past for games like Final Fantasy 14, which retained the same background lore and classes, while overhauling the previous engine. Destiny 2 also served as a soft relaunch, with all old Destiny characters having the option of being imported. With a massive established player base, the transition to New Gensis may go smoothly.
However, the official website is a bit unclear about just how the game will release internationally. The North American site displays only Xbox One and Windows 10 logos, but switching to Japanese replaces them with PlayStation 4 and Switch. Will the game truly be a console exclusive per region, or is it simply for marketing.
