Everybody at Bandai Namco Games is super excited to be able to bring over Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment outside of Japan. Based on the novel, manga and anime, Sword Art Online, the game reflects the charming characters and breathtaking environments from the virtual reality world called Aincrad. In a simulated Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) setting, players find that they are trapped within the game and must explore and defeat enemies until they reach the highest levels of Aincrad to beat the game and free themselves from the fantasy world. Check out the launch trailer here!

In Hollow Fragment, Kirito is suddenly teleported to the new Hollow Area on the 76th Floor and encounters a mysterious player named Philia, who bears a dark past and the telltale orange mark of an unwelcome player killer. With the emergence of fearsomely powerful monsters, the two decide to set aside their differences and join forces to defeat a greater enemy and also face the infamously murderous player killing guild called “Laughing Coffin.”

Players will engage in exhilarating and aggressive battles with flashy and speedy sword skills, robust combos, burst attacks, and active partnering. When battles become more difficult, players can choose to cooperate with up to three other players through online (ad hoc) play in the Hollow Area and create a formidable raid party to take down large groups of enemies and more challenging boss encounters. To further immerse themselves into the Sword Art Online world, players have the ability to enter first-person camera view at any time and observe the battle action and character interactions up close through the eyes of their avatar.
