Sega revealed more details about the second Nijisanji collaboration wave in PSO2: New Genesis at the January 2024 NGS Headline program. After previously announcing a teaser in December 2023, the company has shown how Amamiya Kokoro, Nagao Kei, Matsukai Mao, and Yorumi Rena will actually look like in the new Phantasy Star Online game.
The main highlight of this collaboration will be the Virtual Liver Style ’24 scratch ticket, which will go live on February 14, 2024. Players will have a random chance to obtain avatar parts modeled after the Vtubers. In addition to dakimakura pillows featuring each Vtuber, the scratch ticket will also include Kei’s katana and Rena’s staff as actual weapon camos.
This wave will also add Nijisanji-based content for features that did not exist in PSO2: New Genesis when the first wave launched in February 2023. They include Vital Gauges that customize players’ health bar visuals, Portable Holograms that players can place on fields, and Build Parts for Creative Spaces.
All players who log into the game daily during the collaboration period will be able to obtain a special poster featuring the four Vtubers and stickers based on their signatures. The Region Mags, which players have to feed regularly to obtain buffs, will also have a Nijisanji-themed decoration during the event.
The VTubers in question will also hold special live streams where they actually play the online game with their own avatar designs. Nagao Kei and Yorumi Rena will hold the first collab stream on February 20, 2024, while Amamiya Kokoro and Matsukai Mao will have theirs on February 22, 2024. Both streams will launch at 9 PM JST / 7 AM ET.
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available worldwide on PC and PlayStation 4. The free-to-play online game is also playable on Nintendo Switch via a cloud version in Japan and on Xbox One elsewhere worldwide. The second wave of Nijisanji collaboration content will be available to obtain for a month
