Looks like Phantasy Star Universe is headed to another part of the world. GigaMedia Limited announced an agreement with Sega that will allow their worlds-spanning RPG to operate in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Gigamedia will take care of operating the online components in the two territories, with gamers reaping all the benefits of futuristic MMO action from the comfort of their PCs.

Said GigaMedia CEO Arthur Wang of the new deal,

Phantasy Star Universe is the new chapter of a series that has shaped videogame history. Sega is one of the strongest publishers in online entertainment. We are excited and proud to join with them on a game with such a successful history and enthusiastic player base.

The Taiwanese and Hong Kong iterations of Phantasy Star Universe are expected to launch some time in late 2007.
