PSO2 New Genesis Halloween 2024 Event Begins

Now that October is here, games are kicking off events tied to the season, and Sega announced the PSO2 New Genesis Halloween event with decorations, activities, and costumes are now live. Those started on October 9, 2024, and it seems many of them are live until November 5, 2024. 

To start, there will be Central City decorations, characters in costumes, and events. If you go to that hub, you’ll see spooky decorations set up throughout the month. Mags will also be pumpkin-orange. If you visit Xiemi to get things from the Seasonal Points Exchange Shop, you’ll see her in a gothic gown for the occasion. The Haunted Domain II Urgent Quest is live, and all Urgent Quests can now be completed twice as a “treat.”

There are also new items to pick up tied to the Halloween season in PSO2 New Genesis. The AC Shop is selling C/Grand Dread Keeper II materials. The Reward Box lets you trade medals for seasonal items. Beating 50 enemies in Enemy Supression gets you a Halloween Reward Box. Two elements of the seasonal event are tied to character appearances. Using the Salon is free at the moment. There is also a Halloween ’24 Special Scratch gacha available now, and Monster Masquerade ’24 with gothic costumes and the Jack-o’-Lantern pumpkin seat starts on October 16, 2024. 

The first trailer going over the Halloween activities and first gacha shows off what we can expect after the 3:32 minute mark below.
