It's been pretty quiet on the PSO2 news front lately, but recently folks on the official forums noticed a GameSpot article regarding the release of an English version of PSO2 in southeast Asia.
According to the article, publisher Asiasoft has announced that it is bringing the English version of PSO2 to the region sometime later this year. Although no announcement specifically naming PSO2 could be found on Asiasoft's investor relations Web site, a May 14 press release mentions that the company will be releasing two "AAA" online titles in the second half of 2013. This seems to align with GameSpot's article, which names DC Universe Online as the other title.
If this story turns out to be true, then I think that players waiting for an English version of PSO2 in the US and Europe should be optimistic. Here's why: the version being released in Asia is probably the same one we're getting. It's likely that we'll get PSO2 before Asia does, and if a third quarter or fourth quarter release is expected there, I would expect a US/EU release date sometime around August or September.
Sega has been quiet about a new release date for PSO2 ever since it was announced that the game was delayed. With E3 coming up, hopefully we'll start to get some more information about what's going on.
