Celebrate Sonic's 34th Birthday with Sonic Super Festa 2025

SEGA is excited to announce the commencement of the Sonic Super Festa 2025 as part of their ongoing service for Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis Ver. 2 (NGS Ver. 2). The festivities kick off in honor of Sonic the Hedgehog's 34th anniversary on June 23, 2025. Special updates and events running from June 11, 2025, will include exciting new features and opportunities for players. 

Sonic Super Festa 2025 Events

The Sonic Super Festa includes a variety of limited-time events and bonuses, designed to celebrate the beloved character's anniversary. Players can expect a 34th-anniversary boost, enhanced rare drop rates, exclusive revival special scratch tickets, and keyword rewards.

Rare Drop Boosts

From June 11, 2025, to June 18, 2025, participants will enjoy a +100% rare drop rate. However, on Sonic's birthday, June 23, 2025, a massive +340% rare drop rate will be available (this includes values associated with PSO2 day boosts). This unique opportunity is perfect for players looking to strengthen their collections.

Sonic Collaboration Special Scratch Tickets

Beginning June 18 and running until July 2, players can participate in the revival special scratch featuring items like the Sonic Suit, Chaos Emerald, and Sonic Finger Ring. It’s a chance to grab nostalgic gear from previous Sonic-themed content and enhance in-game character aesthetics.

Sonic's Birthday Keyword Reward

On Sonic's birthday, from June 23, 2025, through July 2, players who share the in-game chat keyword “Sonic34周年おめでとう” (Happy 34th Anniversary Sonic) will receive 34 Sonic collaboration scratch tickets. This is a fantastic way to celebrate and earn rewards simultaneously!

New High-Difficulty Quest: Star-Eclipsing Rampage

Additionally, the game introduces a new challenge: the high-difficulty quest known as Star-Eclipsing Rampage. Players will face off against the Dark Falz Vael, a formidable opponent substantially boosted from the regular challenges. This mission allows up to four players, but proceed with caution, as too many combat failures will result in a quest failure.

In this quest, players can obtain the new star rarity weapon series known as the Cres series, which offers unique capabilities to enhance attack power while reducing PP consumption temporarily.

New Build Parts for Creative Spaces

In addition to new quests and rewards, new retro-themed build parts such as the Retro Bed C and Retro Table C will be available. Players are encouraged to decorate their creative and team spaces, enhancing the overall game environment.

Mission Pass Season 45: NGS Season 45

The 45th edition of the mission pass, NGS Season 45, is set to offer more luxurious rewards. Players can complete tasks to earn stars and level up their tiers, leading to valuable prizes, including accessories, shop permits, and valuable item exchange tickets. Don't miss out on the new accessories like the Thunder Flash Izaneishi and the Leopard Mask!

New AC Scratch: Quaint Ensemble '25

Launching alongside other updates, the new AC scratch ticket, Quaint Ensemble '25, will be available from June 11 to July 9, 2025. This scratch will feature characters dressed in elegant traditional outfits and armor, providing fresh clothing options for players. Players should also keep an eye out for motion change items with different variations.
