PSO2 New Genesis ver.2 Update Details

On January 21, 2026, Sega unveiled an exciting update for its popular service, PSO2 New Genesis ver.2 (NGS ver.2). This update features the introduction of a limited-time quest titled "Assumed Exercise: Three-Route Competition," along with a range of other upgrades designed to enhance gameplay.

Limited-Time Quest: Assumed Exercise: Three-Route Competition

The quest will be available from January 21 until maintenance begins on February 4, 2026. In this thrilling new addition, players will be split into three lanes to tackle enemies, forming a cooperative effort to defeat adversaries and ultimately face off against a powerful boss enemy in the deepest section. Up to 12 players can join in this quest, strategizing together to maximize their efficiency in defeating enemies.

By clearing enemies along each lane, players will gradually diminish the boss enemy's health, necessitating coordination and teamwork with others in the same lane. Accompanying the new quest are special title tasks and limited-time tasks that players can complete to earn titles and the valuable "Super Genesis Festival '25SP Scratch Ticket." Be sure to complete these tasks during the quest!

Additionally, seasonal point exchange shops will bring special items like scratch tickets, SG, unique ability capsules, and master cubes into the mix to keep the excitement alive.

New Special Abilities

In this update, a brand new special ability has emerged: "C/Elgadro Red Keeper." Players can craft this ability using the "Special Ability Capsule" through the Item Lab enhancement material exchange system. To create it, players will also need "C/Unalien Data" and other abilities such as "C/Grandled Red Keeper II" and "C/Mysis Dred Red Keeper II." The essential ingredient, "C/Unalien Data," can be obtained from the new limited-time quest and future updates.

Revival of SG Scratch: SG Support Item Select Jan '26

From January 21 to February 11, 2026, the "SG Support Item Select Jan '26" will reappear. This offers players a chance to secure helpful items for preset enhancements, elevating the power of their weapons and armor to new heights.

Revival of AC Scratch: Accessory Revival Jan '26

Coinciding with the limited-time quest, the "Accessory Revival Jan '26" AC scratch will also launch from January 21 until February 4, 2026. This revival includes previously distributed accessories such as the popular "Nyan-Dafuru Hands" and the versatile "N-Ball," allowing players to collect nostalgic items once again.

'PSO2 Day' AC Scratch: PSO2 Memories Jan '26

The AC scratch titled "PSO2 Memories Jan '26," featuring past avatar items from "Phantasy Star Online 2," will be available from January 21 to February 4, 2026. With a rewards system based on the number of times players participate, bonuses will be given for every 15 tries, including the coveted lobby action "Marron & Melon."
