Echoes of Aincrad is an action RPG that's set in the Sword Art Online universe where players risk their lives in every battle. It's going to be available for the PC via Steam along with consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Echoes of Aincrad isn't the first game that's set in the universe of Sword Art Online. However, it is the first in the series to have players take on the role of a hero that they create. They get to dive into an epic new story and experience intense action where players face life-or-death challenges. We say a "first" since in most titles set in this universe, players are often placed in the role of established characters.

Echoes of Aincrad invites everyone into the dynamic and vibrant world of Sword Art Online. It's one that's filled with challenges and unforgettable encounters. The game embraces the meta behind the IP which is where players enter a virtual world and experience a life-of-death adventure themselves. What this means is that the main character is what players design through the extensive avatar customization. They get to go on a journey where they explore diverse cities and beautiful environments along with facing monsters and bosses that tests their skills.

Echoes of Aincrad features fast-paced RPG action and offers real-time combat. Players can match their preferred playstyle by adapting and upgrading their equipment, weapons, attributes, and even special skills. With this, they’ll later be able to level up and with it, face even greater challenges.

The journey may be difficult but the good news is that they won’t be doing it alone. That’s because victories in combat rely on their chosen NPC partner, each one having different skills and abilities which can be customized. As the bond with their partner deepens, players get to unlock new skills and more powerful abilities.

Echoes of Aincrad invites players into a world of beauty and danger where every battle could be their last.
