Here's a shocker: On Wednesday Sega posted a list of games that they will be showing at E3, and Phantasy Star Online 2 was notably absent.
Over the last few months it has been widely speculated that PSO2 would be getting an English release, and while there have been some subtle hints, there has been no official announcement of such a release by Sega.
So, as you might expect, players took to Sega's blog (where the information was posted) asking about the lack of PSO2 news. No responses from Sega staff have been posted as of yet.
Of course, this doesn't mean an English version of PSO2 is doomed. Sega could be saving it for a surprise announcement at E3, or they may just announce it sometime closer to a US release.
However, if Sega is in fact planning an English release of PSO2, they should announce it soon. The closer we get to a Japanese release without an announcement, the more likely it is that players in the US and Europe will just choose to play the Japanese version.
In any case, we'll see what happens in the coming days. E3 2012 begins Tuesday.
