The New Genesis level cap is now 40
There’s a new Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis level cap in town, and it’s double what we’ve had since launch.
Recently, Sega revealed more info on the big February update, which included, among many other things, a level cap increase. It’s a huge increase actually, as the level cap since launch has been 20: now it’s 40. That means every single class can move beyond that prior limit now. Given thatĀ New Genesis allows you to level up a subclass in tandem (with XP limitations), this should spur even more playtime from dedicated people looking to reach the new cap: likeĀ Final Fantasy XIV, one character can grind up every class.
As a reminder,Ā here are the main elements of the New GenesisĀ February Update:
- Level cap will be raised to 40
- Chapter 2 in the newly added Chapter 2 Side Story.
- Rank 3 will be added to Mt Magnus and Vanford Laboratory Ruins
- Rank 2 will be added to Resol Forest
- Rank 2 Battledias will be added to Aelio
- Rank 2 of every Urgent Quest will be available across regions
- An increased chance for Chaos Trials
- A new enemy type, Megalotix
The other big deals include the Retem City concert (which will also be streamed to a monitor in Central City), and the ARKS ID feature. My favorite low-key quality of life upgrade: the ability to accept urgent quests across different regions.
If you’re interested in the concert, you can watch it below. It starts at roughly 7:30 in.
