Bandai Namco has announced that Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream will be released on October 4. The upcoming Sword Art Online game focuses heavily on multiplayer, allowing up to twenty players to work together and take on massive challenges in Alfheim Online. Additionally, a fresh story trailer was unveiled, giving a glimpse into the story players will encounter in Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream.
The crux of the story is that the Galaxia System that powers Alfheim Online has been corrupted and uncontrollable. This failure leads to different versions of the world colliding, creating an entirely fresh reality. Characters from different Sword Art Online arcs come together in this unique realm, causing former enemies to join forces as they seek to reset the timeline and return to their original worlds.
Today, pre-orders are open for the three versions of Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream: the Standard, Digital Deluxe, and Digital Premium editions. The Standard Edition will include the game and a pre-order bonus in the form of the Demon King Costume Set. The Digital Premium Edition includes the game, Character Pass Volume 1, which grants access to DLC 1 and DLC 2 Worlds Beyond, a set of bonus stamps, and the Prism Heart Costume Set. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes all of the above, as well as a digital artbook and soundtrack, and the Wild Joker dress. Those who pre-order the Premium or Deluxe edition will also receive three days of early access, as well as the Demon King Costume Set.
Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream has been confirmed to be coming to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
