Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!
Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long "never-ending maintenance" period that began in September 2023, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown) is back! While initially slated for a summer 2024 return, the game's relaunch took a bit longer due to core functionality issues requiring extensive developer attention.
What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?
The relaunch includes 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 endured the maintenance period are rewarded with 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets as part of the Returning Player Campaign.
A Restart Celebration is also underway, offering up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards until January 30th, 2025. Don't miss your chance to obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter), and 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. Ready to jump back in? Download SAOVS from the Google Play Store.
