Major Update for PSO2 New Genesis Ver.2
On January 7, 2026, Sega rolled out a significant update for its popular online RPG,
PSO2 New Genesis ver.2 (NGS ver.2). This update, themed around
Alter Realm Exploration, brings the new trial section
Interdimensional Battlefield: Frozen Domain into the game, offering players thrilling new quests and experiences.
Exploring the New Interdimensional Battlefield
The latest update introduces the
Interdimensional Battlefield: Frozen Domain, a thrilling combat section where players engage in battles that trigger
PSE Burst and face off against formidable high-level enemies during
PSE Climax. The quests challenge players to strategize and utilize new in-game elements effectively.
Within the frozen domain, players will encounter new trials like
Arkland Disruption Enemy Defeat and
Sudden Assault Enemy Defeat. These trials feature damaging objects that players can interact with, enhancing their combat advantages. Furthermore, enhancements to players' abilities, such as triggering
extra attacks when performing steps (dodge actions) and the potential for
power increase on step counters, have been added. These mechanics encourage players to experiment with their movement during fights for strategic benefits.
Additionally, this update includes time-limited tasks and achievements that players can complete to earn fantastic rewards like the
Super Genesis Festival '25SP Scratch Ticket and the
N-Master Cube.
New Trigger Quest Available
The exciting
trigger quest titled
Planned Exercise: The Emergence of the Created Victor [Defeated] has also been introduced. This quest is a version of the emergency quest
Emergence of the Created Victor [Defeated], initially released on December 17, 2025. Players can challenge this trigger quest using quest triggers available for purchase at the
Treasure Shop (N-Meseta) until February 4, 2026. During the period from January 7 to February 4, players can accept this quest from the
Limited-Time Quest counter, before it transfers to the
Trigger Quest counter afterward.
Mission Pass Season 52: NGS Season52 Launches
Another exciting addition is the launch of the
Mission Pass Season 52. This pass allows players to earn luxurious rewards by completing tasks and collecting
Stars. Collecting a specific number of stars raises the player's
Tier, leading to various valuable rewards, including exclusive stamps, accessories, and items such as
3-Day My Shop Rentals and
SG Scratch Item Exchange Tickets.
This season also includes unique accessories from
Phantasy Star Online 2, like the
Yarkto Claw and
Yarkto Coda, along with the new helmet accessory
Empe Lappy Helmet. Don't miss out on obtaining the
Mag Form / Tona Lappy, inspired by enemies in the game!
New Equipment Upgrades Introduced
The update also showcases new equipment, most notably the
Rarity ★13 Fortas Armor, which can now be upgraded to
Rarity ★14. Two new versions of the armor are now available:
Belfes Armor, which boosts HP and PP values, and

Players can acquire the upgrade materials,
Fortas Vance, from the
Interdimensional Battlefield: Frozen Domain, perfect for those looking to enhance their gear.
