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 that began in September 2023, it's finally back! While initially slated to return this summer (2024), the developers required additional time to address core functionality issues.

What's New in the Re-Released SAOVS?

The relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena battle where the player with the most knockouts wins. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories. This season runs until December 30th.

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

A "Restart Celebration" event, running until January 30th, 2025, offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards.

Limited-Time Opportunities:

Until January 6th, 2025, players can acquire the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), along with new SSR Ability Cards: "Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades."
