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 a lengthy maintenance period that began in September 2023, it's finally back! Initially slated for a summer 2024 return, the game's relaunch has arrived, addressing core functionality issues that required extensive development time.

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 offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards, running until January 30th, 2025. Players also have a limited-time 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.
