New Updates in PSO2: NGS ver.2
On October 29, 2025, Sega launched an exciting update for their renowned game,
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis ver.2 (NGS ver.2). This update brought the new duel quest titled
'The Onslaught of Star Collapse,' along with several other revival scratch events.
New Duel Quest: Onslaught of Star Collapse
The new duel quest introduces exciting solo challenges in the form of
Extra Duo battles, with stages 1 and 2 designed to pit players against formidable foes like Starless and High Enemies. This quest is strictly intended for solo play, allowing players to battle one-on-one against tough rivals.
Each stage offers five ranks to conquer, with players starting from Rank 1 in both stages. Upon successfully completing a rank, players unlock the subsequent level. However, as players progress through the ranks, they will face increasingly tougher enemies and experience accumulated challenges such as enhanced enemy abilities and reduced player effectiveness. Proper preparation is key to overcoming these escalating difficulties.
Successful completion of Stage Rank 5 rewards players with unique items only obtainable through this quest. Additionally, a new formidable boss enemy,
High Maxvang, has been introduced, boasting enhanced capabilities and unique attack patterns designed to challenge even the most seasoned players.
Furthermore, to complement the introduction of the extra duel quest, several limited-time tasks and achievements will be available. Players can complete these tasks to earn valuable rewards, including
N-Master Cubes.
Revival AC Scratches
Costume Revival: Halloween Celebration
Running from October 29 to November 12, 2025, the revival AC scratch,
'Halloween Revival,' allows players to access previously released Halloween-themed costumes, accessories, and hairstyles, with the first scratch being free of charge.
Facial Item Revival: October 2025 Edition
The
'Facial Item Revival: Oct'25 scratch event is also available during the same period, offering previously released eye colors, makeup patterns, as well as accessories for enhancing character customization.
