Phantasy Star Online 2 Is Now In Closed Beta On Xbox One In North America
The moment that western MMORPG fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The highly-awaited Japanese MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 officially debuted in North America earlier tonight with the start of closed beta testing on the Xbox One through the Xbox Insider Program. According to the official press release, the CBT will run until Saturday, February 8th at 11:59pm PT.
“The closed beta test (CBT) will introduce North American players to the PSO2 game world with fully localized text and character voices in English. SEGA has some surprises waiting for players who participate, including special time-limited in-game ‘Urgent Quests’ with rewards and a Saturday evening concert given by ‘Quna’, an idol who holds a key to the PSO2 story.”
“We are thrilled to kick off the first live testing of the game this weekend,” said Fred White, PSO2 Team Head of Marketing for North America. “The teams have been working hard getting ready and while there is still work to be done before launch, we are anxious to get some early player response as well as test out the new servers.”
Signups are still open for the upcoming open beta tests. PC users will need to wait a bit longer to get their hands on the game. There’s also been talk of a possible Steam release.
