Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!
Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long "never-ending maintenance" that began in September 2023, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown) is back! While initially slated to return this summer (2024), the game's relaunch took longer than anticipated due to core functionality issues requiring extensive developer attention.
What's New in the Re-Released SAOVS?
The relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena where victory goes to the player with the most knockouts. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories. This season runs until December 30th.
Returning players who persevered through the maintenance period will receive a gift: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets as part of the Returning Player Campaign.
A Restart Celebration event, offering up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards, is also underway until January 30th, 2025. Players have a chance to acquire the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), and new SSR Ability Cards, "Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades," available until January 6th, 2025.
