Want a closer look at the new Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online? You’re in the right spot!
I just watched an awesome new story trailer, and it showed off a lot! But that wasn’t all – Dengeki Online in Japan did a really long livestream, and it was full of actual gameplay footage. Seriously, there was so much to see!
If you’re ready to watch the footage, it starts at 1:01:44 in the video below.
As we mentioned in our first look, this Sword Art Online game is quite different from others. It’s a more challenging action RPG with a focus on exploring large areas and mastering combat skills.
This game continues the team-based combat seen in other Sword Art Online games, but it now focuses more on using defensive strategies.
We’ve noticed some comparisons to the Souls series, and we’re eager to see how players, who usually enjoy the fast-paced action and ability-focused gameplay of this series, respond to this new, different style.
If you’re excited about trying a Sword Art Online game after seeing this, good news! The newest one, Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, is currently available as part of the PlayStation Plus Essential subscription this month.
Excited about Echoes of Aincrad, launching on July 10th? Share your avatar ideas in the comments!
