About Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will be coming in 2021! PSO2: NGS will surpass Phantasy Star Online 2 in every way, offering players limitless adventure and unparalleled character customization.

The game has been redesigned as a best-in-class online action RPG experience!

New Genesis unfolds in a new setting 1,000 years after the Oracle’s battle and the original PSO2, and features a visually striking “wide-open battlefield” that Sega calls a “new, living world that changes with the passage of time and weather”. 

Character creation and avatars are compatible between Phantasy Star Online 2 and New Genesis (clearing up a tease posted to Sega’s PSO2 Twitter feed), and it’s possible share emotes and other registered data between both games.

Important to note, levels, EXP, skills, photon arts, techniques, and currency affecting game economy are not transferable. Star Gems and Arks Cash are, however.
