Free-to-play multiplayer action RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 set for 2013 release.

SEGA today announced that free-to-play multiplayer action RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 will be coming to North America and Europe in 2013.

“The number one thing we want to provide players in Phantasy Star Online 2 is an adventure that changes every time they log in. Just as great table-top RPG experiences revolve around imaginative and unexpected encounters, we want players to consistently be surprised as they explore dungeons and undertake quests,” said Satoshi Sakai, Phantasy Star Online 2 Producer at SEGA of Japan.

Phantasy Star Online 2’s features include real-time third-person combat with combos and counters; flexible, class-based leveling system that lets players define their own play-style with distinctive melee, ranged, and magic weapon types; randomized maps and mid-quest encounters that ensure each quest is different for each player; deep character creation system with a nearly limitless number of potential appearances; three degrees of humanity to experience across three unique races: the versatile Humans, spiritually-powered Newmen, and artificial CAST.
