Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!
Remember Bandai Namco's action RPG, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown), which launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long "never-ending maintenance" period that began in September 2023, SAOVS is finally back! While initially slated to resume this past summer, the developers encountered core functionality issues requiring extensive time for resolution.
What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?
The game relaunches with Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena battle where the player with the most knockouts wins. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories. This season runs until December 30th.
Returning players who persevered through the maintenance will receive a welcome-back gift: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets.
A "Restart Celebration: Six Great Campaigns" event offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards, lasting until January 30th, 2025.
Players also have a limited-time chance to obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), along with the new SSR Ability Cards "Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades," available until January 6th, 2025.
See the changes for yourself! Watch the latest trailer below and download the game from the Google Play Store.
