Upcoming action role-playing game Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris isn't going to hit its May release date, Bandai Namco has confirmed. Instead of launching on the 22nd May in North America and Europe, it'll now sheathe its blade until the 10th July 2020 due to "ongoing world events". The coronavirus situation, in other words. It's coming a day earlier in Japan, on the 9th July.
The game itself has looked quite promising for a while. It appears to have a flashy, fun combat system and a good amount of exploration. With any luck, it'll be the best Sword Art Online game yet when it launches this summer.
Are you looking forward to Alicization Lycoris? Keep your blade sharp in the comments section below.

Ah damn it. I'm really looking forward to this. Maybe I'll try and fit P5R in before it comes out.
Coronavirus "situation"
Bizarrely, the games are always far better than the actual source material, which I guess wouldn’t exactly be hard. Shame that it’s been delayed but I’d rather that than it releasing in a buggy, badly translated state.
That's a shame,I've never played any but this has grabbed my attention.Still,I've been eyeing up that Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet in the sale so may grab that one.
Oh man. I'lls till wait for a sale in a year or two because I can't stand their putting in microtransactions.
@nessisonett Them's fightin' words!
Oooh nice, this is coming out during my week off. I Know what I'll be playing!
