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 A.I.s behave like humans. As players take control of Kirito, they will relive heart-pounding scenes from the series through intense combat. Players will also encounter fan favorite characters including Eugeo, Alice, Administrator, and many more. A wide world awaits Kirito and his friends in this exciting adaptation to the Sword Art Online Alicization series.

To celebrate the game’s upcoming release and to invite fans into the virtual world of Sword Art Online, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. is holding an Original Costume Design Contest, during which fans can submit costume designs that may potentially be featured in the game. Kirito or Alice could be seen donning fan-submitted designs when Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris launches in the Americas!
