Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe today announced the launch of Echoes of Aincrad, a brand-new Action JRPG set in the world of SWORD ART ONLINE, available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam®.
As their own character jumping into “SWORD ART ONLINE”, the first VRMMORPG in the world, players will discover this game isn’t one when they find out that every logged in user is now stuck in the game with no apparent exit. Trapped in this dangerous video game where virtual death means death in the real world, players have to face the challenges of the stunning floating castle of Aincrad. While many prefer to hide, or start to turn on each other, the storyline follows the players’ character as they step in to free everyone, exploring breathtaking sceneries through quests and missions, overcoming epic fights against powerful enemies to escape these deadly virtual dungeons.

In Echoes of Aincrad, players can create their own character with a wide variety of options and truly be the hero of their own story. Customisation also continues as they level up and master their skills, managing their character attributes to build their own playstyle and become the ultimate hero of Aincrad. When survival is on the line, venturing alone could mean death at any moment, but players will be able to rely on a partner for their outings, with each of them boasting a different skill to support the player’s approach. Combat receives an added layer of strategy thanks to the switch mode, which allows their ally to step up and cover for the player or fight on their own terms, taking on their own enemies. Finally, in classic RPG fashion, players will have to learn the ropes, dodging, parrying and timing their actions perfectly to gain advantage and defeat those standing on their way to freedom.
Echoes of Aincrad is available today on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series XIS, and PC via Steam®.
