Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!
Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long maintenance period that began in September 2023, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown) is back! While initially slated to return this summer (2024), the developers took extra time to address core functionality issues.
What's New in the Re-Released SAOVS?
The game relaunches with Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena battle where victory goes to the player with the most knockouts. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories. This season runs until December 30th.
Returning players who endured the maintenance will receive a welcome-back gift: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets.
A "Restart Celebration" event offers up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards, lasting until January 30th, 2025.
Players can also obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (a Light-elemental fighter), and new SSR Ability Cards, "Destroyer of Destiny" and "Seasoned Comrades," available until January 6th, 2025.
