Today Sega released a new Phantasy Star Online 2 Patch raising the heat of the summer events on the Japanese servers of the game.

The update introduces a new emergency quest named "Beach Wars", a new client order titled "Sea (Summer)" that will be available from Xie in the lobby. For the occasion she'll don her new hula outfit (that you can see in the gallery below).

Further content includes a new bingo card (Summer Bingo), a new rare enemy spawn named Mesetan, more client orders, items and interrupt events.

New goodies also appeared in the form of pirate gear, Chinese-themed gear and furniture and new lingerie in the form of gloves and stockings. Some new hairstyles have been added as well.

Below you can see a gallery with all the new goodies, and if you want to play the game in English don't forget to check out my guide to the fan translation. The game is definitely worth trying, and since Sega doesn't seem to be too much in a hurry to localize it, we may as well help ourselves.
