Today is the launch of the English localisation of the video game adaptation of Reki Kawahara’s Sword Art Online. Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is set in the series’ first main setting, Aincrad from the popular MMO SAO. The game will briefly follow the light novel and anime’s story before introducing a new story, setting and characters. In the game you play as Kirito as he reaches the 74th floor of Aincrad, advancing towards the 100th floor defeating enemies and bosses. The game also allows you to romance female and male characters where you can date, hug and even get them in bed for a nice chat.
Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is developed and published by Bandai Namco Games. It is currently out on the PlayStation Vita in North America and in Europe later today. The game is only available digitally via the PlayStation Network Store.
Here is the boxart for the North American release of the game:
