Original work [Thu 30th Jun, 2022 18:15 BST]: It’s like the 2020s Sword Art Online: Alicization Licolis If recent retailer leaks are an issue, it’s switchbound.
Nintendo Community in Australia Vooks reported The EB Games Australia incorrectly listed the switch version of BANDAI NAMCO’s latest game based on Sword Art Online Anime. There’s no specific release date for the game — just a “2022” window — but with other Sword Art Online games moving to Switch, it wouldn’t be surprising if this was on the card.
Otherwise, nothing flashy about accidental lists! Placeholder box art and pricing, that’s it. Interestingly, Namco Bandai has announced that the game will receive new DLC on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam in the future.
When the game was first released on PS4 in 2020, our friends at Push Square called it “Technical confusion“.
