Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown Returns After a Year-Long Hiatus!

The action RPG (ARPG) Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown, which was pulled from app stores a year ago to address various issues, is back! This relaunch boasts exciting new features, a revamped user interface, and more.

Initially released to considerable success, the game's removal was a surprising move. However, fans of the popular anime series can now rejoice, as Variant Showdown is available once again!

The game faithfully adapts the Sword Art Online anime, placing players in the shoes of Kirito and other characters trapped within the virtual reality world of Aincrad. Experience the thrilling 3D ARPG combat, battling bosses and enemies alongside a roster of beloved characters.

This updated version introduces several key improvements:

  • Multiplayer Battles: Team up with two other players to conquer powerful bosses and earn rare rewards.
  • Enhanced Rewards: Higher difficulty stages now offer armor items as rewards, with better quality drops for tougher challenges.
  • Full Voice Acting: The main story is now fully voiced, enriching the immersive experience.
