PSO2 New Genesis raises its cap to 125 and adds class-based amulets

The October 7 PSO2 New Genesis update introduces a new equipment category. Amulets trigger an effect when a Photon Blast is activated, with the skill determined by the character's main class. SEGA is also raising the class level cap to 125.

The official NGS Headline WAVE showed 10 amulet preset skills, one for each class. Every drop comes with a preset skill at level one or higher and four random augments. Amulets can drop from limited-time Urgent Quests and regular limited-time quests, and players can add a preferred combination to their wanted item list.

Tech Arts customization now covers every Photon Art and technique. The final additions reach melee choices such as Wired Lance and Knuckles, ranged weapons including Bow and Launcher, Jet Boots, plus wind and dark techniques.

The same update adds a side story for Chapter 9 and starts Halloween '26. Central City gets its seasonal decorations and point exchange shop, while Haunted Domain II '26 turns the Mobile Cannon into an elemental weapon for its limited-time Urgent Quest.

PSO2 New Genesis remains free-to-play with in-game purchases. It is available on PC, Xbox and PlayStation, with English and Japanese support. Major update dates are tracked on the game page.
