The long awaited new title in the beloved Phantasy Star series is on its way! Phantasy Star Universe delivers a rich, ever evolving world and will provide hours of entertainment to both online and offline RPG enthusiasts. Single-player fans will embark on an offline quest as Ethan Waber, a 17-year old cadet intent on saving his sister from an invasion of mysterious life forces called THE SEED. While online players will create their own characters from a range of races, and then set off to explore all three planets in the Gurhal solar system. Fans will travel with a squad of other adventurers, enter urban sprawls teeming with hundreds of other players, and build their avatars into powerful warriors.

 

The Phantasy Star RPG series embarked on its first journey way back in 1988. The storied franchise makes an impressive leap to a new generation with Phantasy Star Universe. With the GUARDIANS Colony under attack from a strange species called The Seed, 17-year-old Ethan Weber does what any brother would do: he rescues his sister. That sends Ethan into a single-player saga spanning over 40 hours. The story's charged with emotion and packed with can't-take-your-eyes-of-'em cut scenes. More than 200 weapons in 20 categories offer a variety of combat options. You're up against over 20 enemy species with over 200 total variations. More adventure, including co-op play, awaits online.
