Going by what we've seen of Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization so far, this could potentially be the best game that the property has spawned. While Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment and Sword Art Online: Lost Song are both enjoyable role-playing adventures, they certainly aren't perfect, so we're hoping that this upcoming release takes what its predecessors did right and expands upon the formula.
Fortunately, things are looking promising. Hollow Realization combines open area exploration with a seamless battle system, and even incorporates character customisation alongside an expansive skill system. It's still due to release this year on PlayStation 4 and Vita here in the West.
We've included two videos: the first is the title's latest English trailer, which gives an overview of the game, while the second is taken from a recent Japanese gameplay stream. Give them a watch and then tell us if you're sharpening your swords in the comments section below.

they could do SO much more with this series if they dropped all the Harem crap so you could have a bigger story and more diverse characters
the original books, Manga or Anime wasn't a Harem series so i don't see why the games are and it's a shame because they are fun games but the harem stuff isn't needed at all
@FullbringIchigo I'd even say. Screw Kirito and make a completely original story where you play as your own character and choose what characters you wanna befriend.
@Riririn that would be good too
That's not a difficult hurdle since the ones so far have been subpar
Wow, they are releasing these fast. I haven't even bought Last Song yet.
@FullbringIchigo @Riririn This one has character creation as far as I know, so you can make your own main character if you don't want to be Kirito. However, I assume it'll be like Re: Hollow Fragment in that you still see Kirito in cutscenes and stuff, which always seems dumb.
@ShogunRok yeah that's why i always just played a Kirito
This does look really nice, another epic game I'll possibly have to make room for.
I will be getting the game for my PS Vita
