Sega is expanding the Phantasy Star Universe... universe with Ambition of the Illuminus, an expansion pack due to hit this fall. The add-on will be released as a download for Xbox Live and as a standard retail product for the PlayStation 2 and PC.

It's the standard online expansion affair, new weapons, new areas, new armor, yadda yadda yadda. One of the more interesting additions are the new casino lobbies that allow players to gamble for rare and unique items. Sega is also adding to the game's single-player mode with the addition of new missions.

They also released nine new shots of Ambition of the Illuminus, which you can check out in our gallery. Anyone still go their Hunters License active? I haven't touched Phantasy Star since PSO for Dreamcast. Michael McWhertor
