What Phantasy Star Online 2: Sonic Collaboration Edition is

Phantasy Star Online 2: Sonic Collaboration Edition is an adventure game developed by Online Entertainment R&D and released in 2020. It was published by Sega. It is available on Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Phantasy Star Online 2 takes a departure from its predecessor by having its own continuity. Additionally, the story doesn't take place in a single planet or solar system; new planets to explore are added during the updates. The plot of PSO2 concerns an intergalactic colony fleet called Oracle that travels through deep-space in search of habitable planets. The odyssey is handled by a large explorer organization called ARKS (not to be confused with Arkz from the previous game). The player is a new recruit in the organization, who becomes tangled in a situation that will later decide the fate of Oracle and the universe itself.
