'Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet' (ALL) Gets Dated, New Game Info, Pre-Order Incentive - Screens & Trailer

Based on the popular anime franchise, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet introduces third-person shooter action along with the traditional RPG gameplay.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet brings an exciting twist to the popular action RPG series by adding third-person shooter elements into the game, forming a unique hybrid shooter/RPG/action title that balances gun and sword play with skill and gadget combat to create a new dynamic experience.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will feature an engrossing, original story supervised by Sword Art Online creator Reki Kawahara, that takes players into the world of “Gun Gale Online,” from the popular Sword Art Online II season of the series.

Players will be able to dive right into the immersive landscape developed by Dimps, and enjoy robust environments and textures powered by Unreal Engine 4. Using agile double jumps, air dashes, wall-to-wall repelling, and quick weapon swapping, players will engage in brisk platforming and shooting gameplay as they embark on epic adventures. Rounding out the package, full multiplayer cooperative and competitive modes will let two to eight players collaborate and compete against one another online.


New info about the game has been revealed:

  • UFG Weapon: The user’s avatar will be gifted by the ArFA-Sys with this special weapon. It enables 3D movements around the environment allowing the player to throw a light wire. This will allow the player to reach higher areas of the map, get closer to enemies, reach a better shooting position or hit flying opponents.
  • Bounty Player: In offline mode, besides enemies, some NPC will appear and challenge the player. They can appear in groups of 4 or alone. Defeating them will guarantee more rewards and a thrilling experience.
  • 4 players Party: Players will have the chance to either play solo or have up to 4 party members. In party mode the player won’t directly control the members but will have the chance to set specific actions and behaviours.
  • New Characters: Besides Kirito, Asuna and Sinon, new characters will join the crew. These include; Yuuki, Strea, LLenn and Pitohui both from Alternative Online Gun Gale.
  • GC Events: During the game some special actions can trigger special party events to discover more about the characters’ life.

Those who pre-order Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will receive the special Silver Assault Gun and Asuna and Kirito SAO avatar costumes. The limited Phantom Edition of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet includes the full game and figurines of Kirito and Sinon with a game-exclusive costume available exclusively at the Bandai Namco Official Store.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) on February 23, 2018.
