Phantasy Star Universe (PSU) is a video game that is currently in production by Sega's Sonic Team for the PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360.Press release. URL retrieved 19 April 2006. The expected release date was previously March 30, 2006 in Japan followed by a Fall 2006 release in North America, but it has since been reverted to a more cryptic "year 2006" launch. [http://ps2.ign.com/articles/688/688888p1.html According to Gamestop's release schedule, the game is scheduled to be released in October 2006 simuntaneously across all three platforms. While Phantasy Star Universe is a hack and slash role-playing game similar to the Phantasy Star Online (PSO) games, it takes place in a (presumably) different fictional universe and has many new features. Like the PSO titles, PSU is playable in both a multiplayer online mode and a single-player offline mode.

Features

---

There are few details on what features separate this title's gameplay from that of the PSO games, but it is known that PSU will have the following features:

• Strafing - characters may strafe, in addition to the movement options available in PSO
• Dual-wielding - characters may wield weapons akimbo, or even carry a different weapon in each hand
• Player-controlled vehicles (Sega have stated that these will be customizable in some way).
• A combat lock-on system, like the Legend of Zelda games
• 20+ dungeons which the player may explore
• 15+ bosses to battle
• Four character races: Humans, Newmans, Casts (Androids) and Beasts
• A 40-hour offline RPG component with characters and events to complement the separate online game (much shorter than that of PSO). (Both use the same engine, although your customizable character can only be used online.)
• Extra Mode: A new offline mode that functions just like online mode, with character customization.

In addition, Sega promises a character creation system more detailed than that of PSO, allowing players to customize the style and color of their characters' clothes, hair and facial features.
