Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is coming to Switch later this year
After a retailer leaked it, over the weekend Bandai Namco confirmed it, more Sword Art Online is coming to Switch, with Alicization Lycoris coming later in the year, check out the trailer below to see the game in action.
Here is the official description of the game, as provided by Bandai Namco:
Following the events of the SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization anime series, SWORD ART ONLINE ALICIZATION LYCORIS finds Kirito in a mysterious but familiar virtual world, “Underworld,” where advanced A.I.s could be mistaken for humans. As players take control of Kirito, they will relive heart-pounding scenes from the series through intense combat. Fan favorite characters will cross the player’s path including Eugeo, Alice, Administrator, and many more. A wide world awaits Kirito and his friends in this faithful adaptation to the SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization series.
Switch owners will also get the first four Ancient Apostles updates, as part of the release, however there is no word on other DLCs, like the recently announced Blooming of Matricaria.
Right now the game doesn’t have a release date, outside of later this year, but that means you have time to play through both Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization and Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, if you want the complete SAO experience on Switch. Those games and Alicization Lycoris are already available on other platforms as well.
