Sega's Phantasy Star Nova lets players fight against gigantic monsters called "Gigantes" on a planet where photon energy cannot be used. Up to four players can join forces in Phantasy Star Nova in ad-hoc cooperative gameplay. Players can customize their character's appearance and name. The game will also feature new "Pile" anchor shooting weapons that create weak points in enemies. As players clear missions, the game's story expands. The game will ship on November 27 for 5,980 yen (about US$52).
Japanese developer tri-Ace (Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile) is making the science-fiction role-playing game for the PlayStation Vita. The game does not require an online connection, although it shares the same world setting as the current Phantasy Star Online 2 game. Phantasy Star Nova PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV variant consoles will ship on the same day as the game.
