The story takes place in the world of Alfheim Online and will feature a completely original story. The world of Svartalfheim will feature an open world to explore with different kinds of terrains. On your quest your party will consist of three characters and you’ll get to play as characters other than Kirito (unlike Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment). Bandai Namco are also said to be testing out an original avatar feature for the game. As seen in the trailer there will be land and sky battles, and the fighting styles blend seamlessly as you can effortlessly switch between aerial and ground combat.
More details will be released on October 16 in an upcoming issue of Dengeki Playstation.
Here’s hoping for a Wester release, as I think I would love to play a game where characters are playing a game in this Inception of video games.
