Tokyo, October 18, 2023
SEGA today announced the free-to-play online action RPG, PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 NEW GENESIS, is collaborating with the science fiction gem that took the world by storm, SPRIGGAN. The collaboration, which begins today, features avatar items, Build Parts, Weapon Camos, and a Limited-time Login Bonus.

The collaboration includes the Armored Muscle Suit used by the main character, Yu Ominae, an Orichalcum Knife, and avatar items modeled after Jean Jacquemonde's costume. Players can also purchase Build Parts modeled after the OOPARTS that appeared in the story and life-size cutouts of Yu Ominae and other characters. AC Scratch Ticket: SPRIGGAN Style will include avatar items for cosplaying as Yu Ominae and Jean Jacquemonde, a weapon camo, an ARCAM Corporation Sticker as well as Emotes, Stamps, Posters, and more.

SPRIGGAN is a work of science fiction written by Hiroshi Takashige and drawn by Ryōji Minagawa. There are more than 10 million copies of the original comics in print, and the anime available on Netflix is currently on a broadcast run that began in July 2023.

"A great civilization once existed on this Earth. The legacy of an ancient people, who possessed knowledge and scientific capabilities beyond that of modern times, is said to still be lying dormant in various parts of the world, unexplored. As high-speed communications networks cover the globe and the peering eyes of satellites are able to expose all secrets, the armies of great nations clash as they seek to uncover and research these artifacts, which possess an unfathomable "power." A member of this ancient civilization carved a message into a plate: "Protect our relics from evil-doers." Taking this message to heart, one organization aims to seal away this ancient civilization for good. The elite secret agents of this organization are known as...SPRIGGANs."

This legendary comic is brought to life through 2D art and 3D CG! Experience the rebirth of this iconic action-adventure after 30 years, filled with extreme action and ancient romance!

The Global version of PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 NEW GENESIS includes fully localized text and character voices in English and will remain content current with the Japanese servers.
