Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis

Sega have announced the first major update for free-to-play MMO action RPG Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will launch December 15th.

As previously reported, the game takes place 1000 years after the Oracle’s battle during Episode 6 in the original Phantasy Star Online 2. Now with wider areas, players can dash and glide through environments that change based on the time of day.

Players will also face a new threat against giant robotic enemies called DOLLS. Other improvements include better graphics and character creation, and being able to wear more accessories in more locations.

The Sandstorm Requiem update will take players to the desert Retem region, and face them against new enemies. Crawford sends you to the region as the advance team, hoping to also establish diplomacy with the locals.

The level cap will be raised to 35, each class will gain new skills; and the Wind, Light, and Dark element attacks will return. New Trainia will also be added, along with Achievements. However, some player achievement records prior to this update had to be rest due to significant lag issues.

You can find the full NGS Headline below (or the Sandstorm Requiem update at 14:30).

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available now and free to play for Windows PC (via the Microsoft Store, and Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
