The game features action-packed battles set in an expansive world, stunning JRPG visuals, and fan favorite characters with players joining Kirito as he embarks upon an epic journey into the mysterious Underworld.

SWORD ART ONLINE ALICIZATION LYCORIS is the exciting adaptation to the ALICIZATION series where players take on the role of Kirito as they embark on adventures in a medieval-fantasy virtual world filled with intense combat and action-packed scenes, and with Eugeo, Alice, and many more fan-favorite characters by their side.
