Well my fellow Arks, the wait is over and the time to return to Phantasy Star Online 2 is upon us! The official North American PSO2 Twitter account posted the news earlier today that the Beta start time will be next week on March 17, 2020, starting at 5 PM PT. Let’s just hope we don’t kill the servers again in our intense excitement! It seems for the moment that this beta is once again only scheduled for the Xbox One version of the game so sadly North American PC players will still need to wait for more info. Or, who knows, maybe they will surprise drop a PC beta the same day! It probably won’t happen but I can be optimistic alright.
For anyone that downloaded the Closed Beta originally, you won’t need to worry about downloading the game all over again as the previous beta build will be updated to play the Open Beta on March 16th. No word has been given yet on the duration of the Open Beta test period so I will post updates once we have more info. It has been a month since the Phantasy Star Online 2 Closed Beta Test finished up and I have been eagerly anticipating the games return. Something about PSO will always be ingrained in my mind and finally getting the game stateside officially has been a long time dream. Tuesday can’t get here soon enough, see you in the stars Arks!
