Explore a New Region, Fight New Enemies, Meet New Characters, Gain New Class Skills, and More in “Sandstorm Requiem”
SEGA announced the biggest update to-date for Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, “Sandstorm Requiem”, is now live. This large update includes a new region, a level cap increase, new Class Skills, new Elemental Techniques, World Trials, a Title System, and more!
As Chapter 2 unfolds, Crawford will ask players to make a trip to Retem with Aina and Manon to join the ARKS in Retem City. Retem is a desert with sand dunes, rocky terrain, and canyons. Players will notice the weather and vegetation are vastly different from what they’re used to in Aelio. There’s so much to explore, but watch out for new enemies, Fortos Launcher, Fortos Laser: DOLLS, Lizentos: DOLLS, and Metius: DOLLS! All are equipped with heavy artillery and prove themselves to be formidable foes. The new field, Retem Region, awaits!
Show off your skills and achievements to the world! PSO2: NGS will be implementing a Title system. Players can earn titles and rewards on in-game achievements, such as defeating a certain number of enemies, completing Trainia with an S ranking and more.
World Trials are large-scale interruptive events that will occur on all Ships. Unlike normal Trials, they will occur over multiple Sectors for an extended period of time. For example, the objective of the World Trial: Stella Grace Recovery Operation is to collect as much of the Stellar Grace that appears in the Exploration Sectors as possible within the time limit to receive rewards!
The “Sandstorm Requiem” update will increase the level cap of all classes to 35 and every Class will gain a new Class Skill.
- Hunter Class will gain the ‘Sword Arts Change Avenger’ skill
- Fighter Class will gain the ‘Dagger Spin Axle’ skill
- Ranger Class will gain the ‘Spread Shot Wide Range’ skill
- Gunner Class will gain the ‘Rising Drive’ skill
- Force Class will gain the ‘Technique Domination’ skill
- Techter Class will gain the ‘Overemphasis’ skill
- Braver Class will gain the ‘Brave Spirit’ skill
- Bouncer Class will gain the ‘Blade Arts Parry’ skill
Three Elemental Techniques will be added to the current Techniques; Wind, Light, and Dark will join Fire, Ice, and Lightning.
Players can celebrate Christmas in PSO2: NGS starting December 22! Central City will be decked out with the Christmas spirit. Don’t forget to search for the Mischief Symbols hidden throughout the city! The new AC Scratch Ticket: Frozen World will let players don Christmas-themed outfits, Dash Motion Changes, and wintery Emotes to add festive cheer all winter long.
