This next title in the Sword Art Online series will feature Anime art style combat, with all the characters faithfully portrayed as in the original show. This mobile game will combine the stories of the Anime and blend it into a new arc, with exclusive content and a unique experience. The game is designed to be intuitive and easy to master, while players will have the option of using special sword skills, which are action moves attributed to the anime-style fighting style.
Sword Art Online is a lightweight novel, a special style of Japanese novels, written by Reki Kawahara. The story takes place in the near future and follows Asuna Yuuki and Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya. Both characters play in the world of virtual reality and in various MMORPGs. The Light Novels enjoyed critical and commercial success and spinoffs followed, along with eight manga adaptations. An eponymous animated series was also released soon after with six video games. And now, it's time for RPG and the mobile gaming community to dive into this action-adventure. Lightweight novels selling over 20 million copies worldwide, the animated series has also won critical acclaim, and every game so far has been a hit.
This new plot continues the storyline of Anime and Light Novel and is officially endorsed by Reki Kawahara, the creator of the original series. ALICIZATION Rising Steel, Sword Art Online's first RPG, will also be featured in various languages and be available worldwide by the end of 2019.
