Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis (PSO2: NGS) is set to receive a new update on July 31, introducing several features, including the Mars Action System. This addition aims to enhance the game’s appeal to players interested in mechanical-themed gameplay. The Mars Action System provides players with new gameplay mechanics reminiscent of the CAST abilities from Phantasy Star Universe, offering a unique experience that integrates mechanical aspects into character abilities.
In addition to the Mars Action System, the July update will also introduce a new card game mode called Line Strike. This mode is expected to add a strategic layer to the game, allowing players to engage in card-based combat and tactical decision-making. Alongside these features, a new collaboration event titled "Eminence" will be included, offering themed content for players to explore. The update will also feature the usual limited-time quest, providing additional opportunities for in-game rewards and activities.
This update comes after a period of relatively quieter updates for PSO2: NGS, providing a range of new content for players to engage with. The introduction of the Mars Action System and the new card game mode indicates a continued effort by the developers to diversify gameplay and maintain player interest. Players can look forward to exploring these new features and participating in the upcoming events as they become available at the end of July.
