Current Information

1up.com reports Phantasy Star Portable will be released in March 3rd, 2009. The bad news, multiplayer gameplay will still use Ad-Hoc mode which is a bummer for the majority of players in the US. We have also added the European release date below. Phantasy Star Zero will release in Winter 2009.

If your planning to pick up this game, I still recommend using XLink Kai for PSP. This will allow you to play online with other players around the globe. We do hope Sega changes this before release, but for now no announcement has been made.

Future AdHoc Plans

Sony has announced a new feature currently in open beta in Japan. This “AdHoc Party for PSP” will allow PSP owners to play AdHoc games over the internet using Playstation 3′s network connection. Unfortunately those without a Playstation 3 will be unable to utilize such feature. This feature will allow players to meet up in a lobby and chat using text or voice.
