Next PSO2 New Genesis Anime Crossover Is Frieren

Sega has announced that it will add new anime crossover content from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End into Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis (PSO2 New Genesis) in January 2025. Players of the online action RPG will be able to obtain avatar parts and weapon camouflages based on characters from the anime adaptation once the relevant scratch tickets have launched in the new year.

Sega regularly adds crossover content from multiple external manga, anime, and game franchises into PSO2: New Genesis. Prior examples include Shangri-La Frontier, Kaiju No. 8, and Melty Blood: Type Lumina. However, neither the late November NGS Headline program nor the following Japanese press release divulged more details on the Frieren crossover content.

Sega has so far only shared a piece of collaborative artwork featuring Frieren and Manon, the latter being one of the two main heroines of PSO2: New Genesis. The company will publish more details about the crossover at the next NGS Headline program on Thursday, December 26, 2024.

Here’s the official announcement.

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available as a free-to-play title on PC and PlayStation 4 worldwide, with an additional Nintendo Switch release in Japan and Xbox One version elsewhere worldwide. The Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End crossover content will appear in PSO2: New Genesis in January 2025.
