Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris was announced earlier in 2019, and it is a role-playing game based on the popular
Sword Art Online series; more in particular the Alicization series of anime and manga written by Reki Kawahara. Not much information about the game was revealed, however, until Bandai Namco finally announced the game's release date a few months back.
Expected to become available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC(digital) on the 22nd of May,
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris will be bringing a beautifully realised open world, and some action-packed sword-fighting combat that will see players strategically taking down their enemies.
Today, Bandai Namco has released a new gameplay trailer that is introducing players to a rather interesting new combat system called "
Tactical AI Emulation System". This brand-new system will make members of your party learn their moves as you play through the game; making for an even more dynamic combat system, and allowing players to gradually focus on the enemy instead of the attacks they want their party to be making.
This brand-new trailer also offers some interesting details about the story in
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, so be sure to check it out down below, and let us know what you think about the trailer, the game itself, and whether you'd be interested in picking it up once it releases later in May.
