Sega has revealed new crossover content for Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis from the anime adaptation of a shonen manga series at the September 2024 NGS Headline program. The title in question is Kaiju No 8, and its content will appear in PSO2 in mid-September 2024.
Most of the content will be available in the “Kaiju No 8 Style” scratch ticket that Sega will launch in PSO2: New Genesis on September 18, 2024. Just like recent prior crossovers with Code Geass, The Eminence in Shadow, and Shangri-la Frontier, the Japanese voice actors will provide new in-game lines based on the anime version’s characters.
After collecting the required parts, players will be able to turn their avatars into Reno Ichikawa (with voiceovers by Wataru Kato), Kikoru Shinomiya (Ai Fairouz), Mina Ashiro (Asami Seto), and Soshiro Hoshina (Kengo Kawanishi). Even though the protagonist Kafka Hibino will not be available in person, players can get a full-body suit and voice set that lets them become the transformed Kaiju No 8 with Japanese voiceovers by Masaya Fukunishi.
Players who do not plan on purchasing the scratch tickets can still get Kaiju No 8-themed items by simply logging into the game for seven days within the event period. They will be able to get acrylic stands of the titular Kaiju and the five main characters, which they can place in their Creative Spaces.
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available worldwide on PC and PlayStation 4, with an additional Nintendo Switch cloud version in Japan and an Xbox One release elsewhere globally. The Kaiju No 8 crossover content will be temporarily available for about a month starting from September 18, 2024.
