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

The action RPG (ARPG) Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown, which was pulled from app stores a year ago to address various issues, is back! This re-release boasts exciting new features, a revamped user interface, and more.

Originally launched to considerable success, the game's temporary removal was a surprising move. However, fans of the popular anime series can now rejoice as Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown is available once again.

The game faithfully adapts the anime, placing players in the shoes of Kirito and other characters trapped within the virtual reality world of Sword Art Online. Experience the thrilling 3D ARPG combat, featuring iconic characters and challenging bosses.

This updated version includes several key improvements:

  • Three-Player Multiplayer: Team up with friends to conquer powerful bosses and earn rare rewards.
  • Enhanced Rewards: Higher-difficulty stages now offer armor items as rewards, with quality scaling with challenge level.
  • Fully Voiced Story: Immerse yourself in the fully voiced main storyline.

A Second Chance?

The initial decision to remove Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown was controversial. While the new additions are promising, it remains to be seen if they'll be enough to recapture players' interest. First impressions are crucial, but dedicated fans will undoubtedly welcome the game's return.
