A Different Story
Sword Art Online Last Recollection serves as the culmination of the alternate storyline that started back in 2013 through Sword Art Online Infinity Moment. In the original storyline, Kirito and his friends were able to log out of Sword Art Online after Heathcliff was defeated. However, in Infinity Moment, a glitch occurred that made them stay in the game world. Not only that, individuals from other VRMMORPGs got sucked into SAO as well.
Sword Art Online Last Recollection is taken from the War of Underworld arc of the original novel and anime series but goes to a different turn and deviates from the canon.
The heroes now journey to the Underworld where there has been an increasing tension between the Human Realm and Dark Territory. If not addressed, this tension could lead to a war between humans and AI. What the heroes don't know is that all these are part of the Alicization Project, a secret experiment by humans in the real world to make sure that war happens in the virtual world, and in turn, force an AI evolution.
Sword Art Online Last Recollection is arriving October 6 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
