PSO2 New Genesis Touhou Project Event Confirmed

The next PSO2 New Genesis crossover came up during the NGS Headline Wave showcase on June 24, 2025, and it confirmed Touhou Project character costumes and music will appear in the MMORPG. There’s no exact release date, but it all will show up starting in August 2025.  Rather than being based on one of the more recent entries in the Touhou Project series, the PSO2 New Genesis crossover will tap into Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. This installment involved the notable Scarlet Mist Incident, which involved Reimu and Marisa investigating a strange mist leaking out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The two antagonists in that installment are Remilia and Flandre Scarlet.  The announcement during the showcase didn’t bring up what we’ll see during this crossover event. Art of Reimu and Marisa did appear on the slide. Since they’re the leads of that entry and two of the most notable Touhou Project characters, odds are the cosmetic items will involve both of them. Due to the prominence of Remilia and Scarlet in the installment, we could see them too. Music Discs based on the game, which will include the versions of songs from Touhou Project that appeared in other Sega games, will appear.  Here's the announcement slide from the presentation: Image via Sega Here’s the official NGS Headline Wave for June 2025. The Touhou Project reveal comes up at the 35:52 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TygwV0b_O8Y Most recently, the Sonic the Hedgehog crossover appeared in the MMORPG again. Before that, cosmetic items based on Nijisanji Vtubers and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slimeshowed up. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available to play on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The post PSO2 New Genesis Touhou Project Event Confirmed appeared first on Siliconera.
