PSO2 Alpha Test: Here We Go

Sega has finally announced the dates of the Phantasy Star Online 2 alpha test.

According to a message posted at the PSO2 Facebook page, test participants will get approximately 50 hours over five days in which to play the game.

The alpha test is broken up into three segments. Dates and times are listed below.

First test period:
Thursday, August 18 — 4 PM to 11 PM JST (3 AM to 10 AM EDT)
Friday, August 19 — 6 PM to 11 PM JST (5 AM to 10 AM EDT)

Second test period:
Tuesday, August 23 — 4 PM to 11 PM JST (3 AM to 10 AM EDT)

Third test period:
Begins at 4 PM JST (3 AM EDT) on Friday, August 26 and ends at 11 PM JST (10 AM EDT) on Saturday, August 27

The posting notes that the announced dates and times are subject to change.

So that's that. Hopefully in the next week and beyond we'll know a whole lot more about the game. Who knows -- maybe if the alpha test goes well we could see the game released this year! (Isn't that wishful thinking...)
