And yet, the publisher announced this weekend that it will be released on Nintendo Switchhope the frame rate will hold the road.
A fairly classic trailer reminds us of the context of this game, part of the events of which retraces the anime Sword Art Online: Alicization with the fight againstAdministratorbut which then proposes an original framework diverging from SAO: Alicization – War of Underworld. The four free updates Ancient Apostles will also be included basic, but not Blooming of forget-me-not… which should be released later, as well as other free or paid additions.
