Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia has announced that pre-orders for Sword Art Online Last Recollection are now available.

A new trailer has been released, recounting the events as Kirito and friends venture through the Dark Territory. They’ll discover that the inhabitants are not as hostile as they first thought, and new alliances will help them overcome any obstacles. However, a newly formed bond of trust will be put to the test amid raging battles and dire circumstances, while the stakes run high for the Underworld.

Here’s an overview of Sword Art Online Last Recollection:

This latest entry in the series is based on an all-new “War of Underworld” story arc unique to this game and features more characters and episodes than ever before to portray a setting different from that of the source material and anime. 

The threat of annihilation draws near for Underworld, a virtual world designed to give birth to the supreme AI known as A.L.I.C.E. 

The Final Stress Test served as the beginning of the end… The gate dividing the Human Realm and the Dark Territory has been opened, causing the shadow of war to be cast over the two realms. 

Just then, the Dark Knight, accompanied by a young girl, bursts through the gate before Kirito and his companions… 

“What’s the difference between the world ending and me dying?” Who is this girl that is seemingly destined to meet a tragic fate? Will she ultimately bring about an unavoidable “end” of all things?  

With the answers to such questions shrouded in mystery, a tale of life itself is about to unfold… 

Sword Art Online Last Recollection is launching on October 5, 2023, on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. The PC (Steam) version is launching on October 6.
