The games feature Kirito and Asuna, along with the friends they have met during their VRMMORPG adventures. The gaming series allows a new perspective of the world, along with the epic action and combat featured in the franchise.  

In the year of the 10th anniversary of Sword Art Online (Oct. 6, 2023) marks the start of a new adventure for Kirito and his friends on their quest to protect the world. 

Sword Art Online: Last Recollection will offer an alternate story from the original Sword Art Online anime, keeping the dark setup of the Underworld War arc and its intense action moments while introducing new characters. In the meantime, fans can enjoy a treat with the music video retracing the entire story of the Sword Art Online anime and video games series here:  

The SAO series is a beloved franchise that has given fans an array of content to enjoy. It has been fantastic to dive into many stories featuring Kirito and Asuna, with this latest title being an exciting new installment to look forward to next. It’s great that all releases from the series are linked rather than being a simple replay and alternate experience of events. It will be exciting to see what new action and content awaits players as Sword Art Online: Last Recollection will be released during the Fall of this year.  

Although the SAO game series has continued the amazing story of Kirito and those he has met, fans still wonder if the full-dive VR features in the game will one day be possible. A lot of fans are hoping there will be a full VRMMORPG from the series, although the mechanics possible have yet to reach the level featured in the lore of the series.

These games continue to feed fantastic action and thrilling stories from the franchise and this new release will continue to bless fans with Kirito’s tale until the promised day that the full-dive VR can be experienced in the future.

Long time fan of Tokusatsu fan since Power Rangers was first released in the 90s. Whereas most Superhero fans grew up with DC Comics and Marvel, my childhood was surrounded by releases from Saban Entertainment such as Beetleborgs, along with anime, and other various fads of the generation. Anime is also a great passion with Digimon, That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, and Demon Slayer being significant favorites. It was the love of both Power Rangers and Digimon that led to the path of becoming a Senior Writer for The Illuminerdi.
