Phantasy Star Online 2, Still Unavailable In The West, Gets DLC In Gravity Rush 2

A new DLC pack for Gravity Rush 2 is now available that features content from Phantasy Star Online 2, a game that remains unavailable in the West.

The recently revealed PSO2 Collaboration Pack is out now for free on the PlayStation Store in North America and Europe. It consists of a number of PSO2-themed items and a costume for Kat:

• PSO2 Crazy Kitten costume for Kat
• PSO2 Rappy photo item
• PSO2 Red Container photo item
• PSO2 Green Container photo item
• PSO2 Blue Container photo item
• PSO2 Yellow Container photo item

Free DLC is always welcome, though Phantasy Star Online fans are likely to be frustrated with the news. PSO2 has still not been released outside of Asian markets some four-and-a-half years after its original launch. Sega had previously said it was coming to western markets, only for delays to turn into silence and confusion about its status. A PS4 release in Japan last year led to no new developments on the localization front.

Its continued absence is somewhat befuddling in part because the game has proven to be a success in Japan. Sega's financial reports routinely call it out as a bright spot in its business, and that was again the case in one released this week.
