Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!

Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long maintenance period (September 2023 - now!), it's back! While initially slated for a summer 2024 return, the developers addressed crucial functionality issues, resulting in a delayed relaunch.

What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?

The game's relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player knockout competition running until December 30th. Players can compete in League Matches for titles and accessories.

Returning players receive a welcome gift: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets!

A "Restart Celebration" event offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards, lasting until January 30th, 2025. Players can also try to obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), and new SSR Ability Cards ("Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades") available until January 6th, 2025.

Check out the latest trailer below to see the changes:
