We recently got word that Idola Phantasy Star Saga, the new mobile instalment in the classic game series, is coming to the west soon, with pre-registrations having just opened. The game originally launched in Japan back in late 2018, to celebrate the anniversary of the Phantasy Star series, which first appeared in 1987. The game series has grown to huge popularity since.
Set in the world of Vandor, Idola Phantasy Star Saga centres around fighting giant monsters known as Idola, with the help of your ragtag band of adventurers. Vandor is a dangerous land, you see, terrorised by the dangerous creatures that dwell there. The game lets you face these monsters in party-based combat, but also fight against others in a PvP arena mode.
So we thought we’d create an Idola Phantasy Star Saga guide, to round up what we currently know about the game, but also to keep you updated on anything and everything there is to know about the upcoming RPG. Whether it’s release date, characters, or simply which platforms the game is on, our Idola Phantasy Star Saga guide has you covered.
