Exciting Limited-Time Quests and New Gear in PSO2 NGS Version 2 Update
Sega has announced a thrilling update for 'PSO2 New Genesis ver.2' (NGS ver.2), scheduled for December 17, 2025. This update brings forth a series of limited-time urgent quests and fresh weaponry designed to immerse players deeper into the game's enthralling universe.
New Limited-Time Urgent Quest
The spotlight of this update is the introduction of a new urgent quest titled 'The Emergence of the Created Ruler [Loser]'. In this adventure, players will confront the formidable Dark Falz Ruler, now reborn as the powerful Ruinas 'Ruino-Luther'. A total of eight players can join forces to face this challenge, powered by diverse time-manipulating attack patterns.
Upon completing this quest, participants will unlock new seasonal tasks, which once finished, reward them with the coveted 'Luther Reward Box Medal'. Furthermore, the 'Super Reward Box - Luther' will provide players with exclusive items, including the 'Nifteridus V2[Ba]' and other in-game perks.
New Quest Invitation from Benefan
In addition to the primary quest, a reimagined invitation quest from Benefan, called 'Invitation from Benefan', is also making its debut. This quest builds on elements from a previous installment, modifying enemy levels and introducing new areas to explore. As players progress through the trials within this quest, they can earn gifts from Benefan, enhancing their adventure experience.
To further engage players, new title tasks and limited-time challenges accompany this quest, allowing players to earn accolades and the 'Super Creation Festival’25SP Scratch Ticket'.
Fresh Equipment Releases
The update also showcases the release of the rare ★14 weapon series dubbed 'Alce'. This series features weapons originally from the PSO series, now upgraded for NGS functionality. While the PP consumption increases, equipped players benefit from increased max PP relative to the amount consumed, enhancing their combat prowess.
In addition, exceeding a certain PP threshold boosts the photon blast gauge more easily during attacks, restores HP when photon blasts are triggered, and shortens the cooldown time for photon blasts. These weapons will be obtainable through the aforementioned 'The Emergence of the Created Ruler [Loser]' quest and future updates.
Moreover, a new special ability called 'C/Elgagladie Soul' is debuting. Players can craft this ability at the Item Lab, requiring 'C/Brace Data' among other components, allowing for even more customization.
The Joyful Holidays '25 AC Scratch
From December 17, 2025, at the end of maintenance, until January 14, 2026, a new AC scratch ticket event titled 'Joyful Holidays '25' will take place. Exciting new attire options, including a Santa dress that doubles as a bikini and Gothic Lolita outfits, will be available, alongside unique lobby actions such as a sofa-sitting emote.
For dedicated players, the bonus rounds include alternate versions of motion change items, including 'Glide: Reindeer EX' and 'Dash: Reindeer EX', to enhance festive in-game celebrations.
Special Items & Upcoming AC Scratch Event
On December 21, 2025, tied to 'PSO2 Day', a revival AC scratch titled 'PSO2 Memories Dec'25' will be available until December 31, 2025. This event offers nostalgic avatar items previously distributed in 'Phantasy Star Online 2', with unique bonuses rewarding players every 15 entries.
Gamers can also look forward to exclusive lobby actions like 'Snow Play' being reintroduced, with each event offering a new lineup to pique interest every month.
