Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!

Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long maintenance period (September 2023 - 2024), it's back! The game's relaunch follows a longer-than-anticipated hiatus, initially slated to end in summer 2024. The developers cited the need to address core functionality issues.

What's New in SAOVS's Re-release?

The relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player knockout competition running until December 30th. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories.

Returning players receive a welcome gift: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets. A "Restart Celebration" event offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards until January 30th, 2025.

Limited-time offers include the chance to obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), and new SSR Ability Cards, "Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades," available until January 6th, 2025.

See the relaunch trailer below and download SAOVS from the Google Play Store.
