Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown Returns After a Year-Long Absence!

The action RPG (ARPG) Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown, which launched last year, is back after a year-long hiatus. The game was initially removed from app stores to address various issues. Now, it's making a comeback with exciting new features and a revamped user interface.

This 3D ARPG faithfully adapts the popular anime series, placing players in the immersive world of Sword Art Online, alongside Kirito and other beloved characters. Engage in thrilling battles against formidable bosses and enemies.

This updated version boasts several key improvements:

• Three-Player Multiplayer: Team up with two friends to tackle challenging bosses and earn rare rewards.
• Enhanced Rewards: Higher-difficulty stages now offer armor items as rewards, with the quality varying based on the difficulty level.
• Fully Voiced Story: Experience the main storyline with complete voice acting!

A Second Chance?

The initial removal of Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown was a surprising move. While the new additions are promising, it remains to be seen if they'll be enough to recapture players' attention.
