One of the many games announced during the Xbox Games Showcase was Sega's online action-RPG, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. It'll be arriving on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC in 2021.

According to the official Xbox Wire news post, this is the "latest entry" in the PSO2 universe. Although, as Eurogamer points out - it's also referred to as an "update" on Sega's YouTube channel.

At this point in time, it's unclear if it'll be an update to the existing game, or a standalone experience. Either way, it'll be completely revamped:

One of the goals for PSO2: NGS is to create the ultimate PSO2 in which the time-tested elements are kept intact, while the game design, gameplay, and graphics engine will be completely redesigned and reborn in all aspects. We are working very hard to offer players unparalleled character customization, limitless adventure, and the best action online RPG

One downside is that it appears to be limited to North America and Japan (sorry, Europe).

If it does end up being a standalone release rather than an update, we expect it to be a similar situation to Phantasy Star Online 2 - in other words, there shouldn't be any region locks in place, so you can still download it outside of these locations.

Is this an upcoming release you'll be keeping an eye on? Tell us down below.
