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.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is showing off online multiplayer modes and Itsuki, new original character to the game who is regarded as one of the most famous top players in “Gun Gale Online” and is loved for his looks and communication skills.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet includes eight-player competitive and four-player cooperative online multiplayer modes:

• Online Battle – Up to eight players are divided into Alpha and Bravo teams and compete to cause the most damage to a boss character that populate the map. Threats come from all angles as players manage their time damaging boss character while also denying the other team from scoring points.
• Online Cooperative Battle – Four players and their ArFA-sys support characters team up to take down the enemy boss.  Players must make use of their unique skills and carefully consider their roles as they complete their objective.

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