Sega held a briefing today and made some announcements about PSO2. The game will be coming to PC, PS Vita, and surprisingly, iOS/Android smartphones. They also officially announced that the game will be free to download and play! More details after the break.
Via Andriasang:
The smartphone version will be different from the PC and Vita version. The PC and Vita versions offer cross platform play. The smartphone version will just share data with the two versions.
Sega also says that the smartphone version will offer simpler character creation, and a simpler control experience, complete with social game elements. Sega says to expect a more “personal” and “simple” experience compared to the other two versions.
The PC version of PSO2 will be arriving first (as previously promised), with service planned to begin in early summer. The smartphone version will come next, in Winter 2012. The Vita version is due in Spring 2013.
Along with these announcements, Sega mentioned that the closed beta will start in April and aim to have 100,000 players participating.
Seems like Japanese developers are considering the free to play model after the success of other games in the business. For more images and screenshots, please visit Andriasang’s post.
