It will be an online-only game.
The Vita version was announced in March when game producer Sakai Satoshi confirmed that Vita players will be adventuring alongside PC players on the same servers and will be able to play the same character on both versions.
The PC version of the free-to-play action MMO game will launch in North America and Europe next year, but Sega is yet to confirm the Vita and mobile versions for release in The West.
