Bandai Namco has shared a new trailer of the upcoming Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, which actually consists on the opening credits of the game. In the video we get a new look at the heroes of the adventure, as well as the AI companion ArFA-Sys. The opening makes clear the dirtier and post-apocalyptic look of this entry, in contrast with earlier games in the series which were more colorful and bright. We can also hear in the background the main music theme of the game, the song “Thrill, Risk, Heartless” by the singer LiSA.
The game allows players to design their own main character, customizing aspects like facial features, skin tone, hairstyles, and more. It also offers online and co-op features. The story is directly related to the Gun Gal Online arc of the series, with the protagonist being invited to the MMO by an old friend, only to realize that they have become the target of every other player in the game.
