This may be a game, but it’s not something you play.

The world’s first VRMMORPG (Sword Art Online) became a game of death. Over a month has passed since 10,000 users were trapped inside the game world. Asuna, who cleared the first floor of the floating iron castle of Aincrad, joined up with Kirito and continued her journey to reach the top floor. With the support of female Information Broker Argo, clearing the floors seemed to be progressing smoothly, but…

Conflict erupts between two major guilds who should be working together – the top player groups ALS (the Aincrad Liberation Squad) and DKB (the Dragon Knights Brigade). And meanwhile, behind the scenes exists a mysterious figure pulling the strings….

In a dangerous battle of death, there is an assault that differs from the threat, and it will involve Asuna and Kirito…!

Sword Art Online is a light novel series by Reki Kawahara that has been massively popular since Volume One was first published in 2009. The anime adaptation has been airing since 2012 and in 2017 the first movie was released. Sword Art Online Progressive is a reboot light novel series where Kawahara takes a deeper look at where it all began on Aincrad’s first floor. The idea of the series is both captivating and disturbing, players of a new VRMMORPG (virtual reality massive multiplayer online role playing game) are trapped in the game and if they die in game, they die in real life. 

If you are a fan of Sword Art Online, you won’t want to miss your chance to see the newest movie in theaters.
