It’s hard to believe just how far the Sword Art Online craze has come in just six year. So far the franchise has encapsulated 16 light novel (plus spinoffs), several different mangas, 2 anime series, a film and 2 games which has now become 3. Sword Art Online: Lost Song breaks off from the main story arc and instead follows on from the previous game Hollow Fragment.
With Sword Art Online: Last Recollection being released in a few days, The Outerhaven looks at all the other available SAO titles and ponders which ones you should check out before picking up the Nervegear, yet again.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In 2017 I wrote a series of articles looking at all of the Vita games released by a number of different publishers, but at the time I was already thinking about how interesting it would be to examine the output of individual developers. Sony’s handheld may not have been a sales success in itself, but certain studios managed to make a living by creating titles for it that targeted the right audiences. None demonstrate this better than Artdink, the quirky Japanese company that has increasingly branched out into anime development in recent years."
Sword Art Online: Lost Song is coming to PC via Steam, Bandai Namco announced during its Sword Art Online Game 5th Anniversary stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2018.
Another one to add to the list!
