New Story

A New Story Begins April 2026

This is the first reveal of a concept art featuring a mysterious girl who might be our newest heroine. A new chapter of the main story is set to release every 4 months starting in April.

ARKS Operation Report

Closing the Window in the Salon resets each item's selection form of sort and filter options. Would it be possible to keep these sort and filter settings?

They are planning to retain the filter settings for each item in the salon even after closing the form. Filter settings will be retained until you close the game.

Among ingredient effects in Quick Food, The 'power up' effect from meats in Quick Food is so strong that it has become effectively essential. Are there any plans to make improvements to help correct ARKS' skewed eating habits?

They plan to change the number of items required to activate the maximum food effect from 10 to 5. As a result, the number of meat ingredients required for Power Up will be 5, allowing you to use other ingredients as well. While this may be a slight inconvenience in some ways, you may want to update your recipes, for example.

    • Code of Jokers Evolutions.

      It was being co-developed with some other studio and SEGA just announced they were ending development on it literally today, 23.12.2025.

      It's been a running joke in the PSO 2 community that SEGA's suspended development on NGS, to focus on the NFT game and now they announce its termination the day they announce a new PSO 2 story chapter.

  1. "Story = real content" is definitely a take alright, considering the rest of the roadmap is basically the same things we've been getting these past 4.5 years I guess it makes sense.

    I'm more interested to see what those new tech customizations will be in October, since the last batch would be in the Jun/Jul update. Also curious to see if Ruine Anga will resist weapons.

  2. Honestly, I had already lost hope for a major upgrade into PSO2 Genesis… Because there haven't been any significant updates in 2025; in other words, 2025 was a very weak year for PSO Genesis in terms of new content.
    It seems the big update will only arrive later in April, and PSO won't undergo a "Genshinization" anytime soon. What saddens me is that the Creative Space, the best minigame ever created in SEGA games in years, seems to have been abandoned by the developers… Only a few recycled items with different colored skins are released little by little every two months.
    Only the Asian community on the Japanese servers constantly creates new spaces.

    • I take it you missed this part?

      "June to July. New Content using Creative Space. This content is a significant undertaking for the development team."

  3. "A new chapter of the main story is set to release every 4 months starting in April."
    Yooo! What the hell is this? Now they doing it?
    I mean I'm hyped, since I only play for the story. But why weren't we getting it this way before? Why was there such a huge pause in story updates until now? PSO2 was getting consistent story update, why not this?

    Anyway, I'm finally hyped for NGS again, it's been a minute. Also, was that Crawford in the teaser? I remember people having theories about it. Is he actually Le bad guy? I guess those ARKS ship schematics in the control tower are finally paying off.

  4. The general public will drop out this game between January/April, leaving the Western servers deserted… and will only return when the major campaign and content updates begin around mid-2026.

    How many devs actually work on updates for PSO2? Maybe 10 interns from the mobile gacha division?
