Exciting news for fans of the Sword Art Online (SAO) series! The new game, “Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream,” is set to release on PlayStation 5 on October 4, 2024. This game will also be available on other platforms, including Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
“Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream” brings a fresh experience to the SAO universe. The game is developed by Bandai Namco and will let players dive into the world of ALfheim Online with a new twist. A new system called Galaxia has been added, allowing players to relive historical moments from the series. However, as expected in the SAO world, the system malfunctions, scattering players across different timelines and dimensions. Kirito, the main character, must collaborate with friends and foes to restore order.
The game will feature an extensive roster of over 20 characters from various arcs of the SAO universe. Players can expect to see familiar faces such as Kirito, Asuna, Sinon, and more. Each character has unique abilities and roles, such as Fighter, Tank, Rogue, Ranger, Mage, and Support, offering diverse gameplay experiences.
One of the highlights of “Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream” is its online multiplayer mode. Up to 20 players can join forces in co-op raid battles, tackling large mobs and bosses. This mode supports cross-gen play, allowing players from different platforms to team up.
Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream comes to PS5 on October 4.
