Phantasy Star Online 2 Reveals Frame Arms Crossover; Celebrates 6 Million Players in Japan

Today Sega announced another AC Scratch collection for the western servers of its popular MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2.

This time around the collection is “Frame Arms Reloaded” and it’s a collaboration with the popular (in Japan) Frame Arms Girl model kit line by Kotobukiya.

The collection will be available starting today, Dec. 23, and until Jan. 20. You can take a look at all the costumes and goodies available on the official blog post.

If you’re unfamiliar with AC Scratch, that’s basically the game’s loot box-like mechanic that you can get through tickets purchased with Arks Cash.

Speaking of the Japanese version of the game, Sega announced via press release that it has passed six million players. That’s certainly a flattering milestone considering that it’s only one country.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is available in the west for Xbox One and PC, while in Japan it can also be played on PS4 and Switch. A few months ago, we heard that the western version enjoyed a “strong start” and that it passed one million players.

In the meanwhile, Sega recently announced Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, which will basically be a new game operated in parallel with the original Phantasy Star Online 2.

The original game will, in turn, receive a visual upgrade to bring it in line with New Genesis’ graphics. Players will be able to use the same accounts and characters to play both games.
