This article contains information on content which has not been released in any version of Phantasy Star Universe. Though gathered from official sources, the information presented here is subject to change.

AOTI update 3rd (「イルミナスの野望」アップデート３ｒｄ) is an upcoming major update for the Japanese PC servers scheduled to begin implementation in April of 2011. Details pertaining to a release on the Xbox 360 servers have not been announced yet. As with update 2nd before it, this is a continuation of GUARDIANS Advanced Content which will add even more new features and depth to the world of Phantasy Star Universe.

New areas

Many brand new areas are planned for release such as Mt. Elbars on Moatoob and the seabed RELICS of Parum.

End of PS2 services

The following information applies only to the Japanese PS2 version of the game.

Since the initiation of GUARDIANS Advanced Content, PS2 users have not been able to enjoy the full extent of many updates due to the inability of the system to handle large content patches. As a result, all brand new weapons, clothes and parts added to the game since have appeared to PS2 users as generic models. Considering the scale of this third major GAC update, SonicTeam have decided to end online services for the PS2 version of Ambition of the Illuminus, as many new features would be impossible to implement otherwise. The last day of service for the PS2 servers will be March 31, 2011.
