We appreciate you, operatives – all 2+ million of you! We’ve cooked up some campaigns to show you just how thankful we are to have you all aboard Oracle Fleet. Check our website for details or teleport into PSO2 today to see some surprising new content, including:

• The Limited Time Quest – Mop-Up Op: Endless Nightmare: A quest with a rare drop boost applied each time it’s played.
• The New Urgent Quest – Swirling Inferno: Extinguish the fire by attacking with weapons and rescue the ones who failed to escape.
• The New Ultimate Quest – Final Battle: Space-Time Interstice: It’s time to challenge the Primordial Darkness mano a manifestation. Only senior-ranking Arks (those above level 90 on both main and sub-class) should attempt this mission, as it is to be done solo. That’s right, on your own. Will you prevail? Find out today!
• Premium User Appreciation Day: Still hunting that Rappy Suit Mini, Arks? Then you’re in luck, because on the 21st of every month (depending on where you live) you get an encore of PSO2 Day, with the Premium Users Appreciation Day. While Premium Set members will receive additional goodies, all Arks can hunt and obtain items from the ARKS Rappy. Want more details about a Premium Set? Be sure to check out our website!

What’s PSO2: NGS All About?

Ready up and join thousands of your fellow operatives in exploring the gorgeous new world landscapes of PSO2: NGS. You’ll arrive 1,000 years after the battle of Oracle in PSO2 and unite to help defeat a new and supremely powerful enemy of unexplained origin, known as the DOLLS.

The fight against the DOLLS has been ongoing for decades, but yet, no one knows where they are coming from, and why they are attacking the people of the peaceful planet of Halpha. The members of ARKS are made up of skilled individuals from Halpha, but there are also those with a different background – the Meteorn. Similar to the DOLLS, no one knows where they come from, or the reason for their arrival in Halpha.

You’ll encounter vast expanses of a high resolution, open world powered by a new graphics engine. But don’t stop to smell the Halphanian Hibiscus, or you’ll find yourself on the wrong end of a Daityl Sword. These stunning enemies with enhanced character models are beautiful to behold, but deadly serious in their determination to deal destruction. Rejoice with the redesigned battle system giving you control over every jump, dodge and high-altitude glide. Fight together on the battlefield alongside friends from all over the globe. And revel post-battle in the ship’s lobby with teammates, telling the tales of victory.

This closed beta test will feature content planned for release at the official launch of PSO2:NGS, which will allow players to experience the fundamental game system. We would also like to gather general sentiment and feedback in order to make any needed changes or adjustments, in addition to resolving any problems discovered during testing and before the official service launches.

We’d be honored for you to join us and share your valuable thoughts and opinions. Players who participate and fulfill certain requirements will be rewarded with special items. Once you register to secure your slot in the closed beta test, be sure to visit the CBT website we have created at https://ngs.pso2.com and follow us at @play_pso2 on Twitter and @PSO2Official on Facebook for updates. We look forward to your applications!

So, jump into PSO2 today with your fellow ARKS operatives and be a part of all the excitement that is happening on your ship. 2021 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet in the Phantasy Star Online 2 universe and we look forward to having you join us on the journey!
