Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Re-released after More than a Year of Maintenance!

Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!

Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG? After an unexpectedly long maintenance period (September 2023 - late 2024), it's back! The developers cited core functionality issues as the reason for the delay, exceeding even their August 2023 estimate of a summer 2024 relaunch.

What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?

The relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player knockout competition running until December 30th. Compete in League Matches to earn 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 until January 30th, 2025. This event also includes a chance to acquire 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 for a visual overview of the changes:
