Tales of Arise Crossover DLC Lets You Fight Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online

Unlock outfits and weapons, too

by Robert Ramsey Mon 4th Oct 2021

Well, we didn't see this crossover coming. Tales of Arise is getting a paid Sword Art Online DLC on the 7th October, and it sounds pretty cool if you're a fan of the aforementioned anime property.

Once you have the DLC, you'll be able to fight SAO protagonists Kirito and Asuna in the game's arena. Going by the above trailer, the twosome are level 98, so you'll need to be deep into the endgame if you want to stand a chance (although we suppose a lower level version of the fight could be an option).

New outfits for Alphen, Shionne, and Law are also included, and you can even unlock Kirito's swords as weapons. What's more, an incredibly flashy Mystic Arte is up for grabs, which has Alphen unleash utter destruction alongside Kirito and Asuna. Cool!

Think you might grab this DLC for Tales of Arise? Never stop slashing in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I have 3 of the Sword Art games (2 vita ports and the cross plat title) but probably not going to invest in Tales. My flashdrive turns up tomorrow anyway so I'll know if I can fix the HDD on my old ps4s hdd sony broke. >_>

Now if it was Zoro and Mihawk from One Piece, then I'd be interested. I don't mind SAO as a guilty pleasure but Kirito and Asuna are the two worst characters, the two worst parts of the franchise. It's like going to the butchers and the only parts of the cow they have left are its balls.

@Matroska "SAO as a guilty pleasure but Kirito and Asuna are the two worst characters, the two worst parts of the franchise."

Uhm no, Asuna and Kirito are pretty chill characters imo, but they get hate because they are the main characters and they feel flawless at times.

HYPE, a crossover I actually care about. I love everything SAO.

Couldn't find the first Collaboration Costume Pack in the NA Store.

Anyways, the cosmetic DLCs for this game almost cost as much as the game itself now. I think it's $55 if you add all of them together. Cheaper to get the Ultimate Edition or wait for a price drop if you want all the skins.
