'Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet' News, Update: New Trailer Released; Big Upgrades Detailed
A new trailer for "Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" has been released.
In this new clip, players will learn more about the latest update coming to the new installment of the franchise including how the new ArFA-sys addition works.
"Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" will allow players to customize the appearance and behavior patterns of the support artificial intelligence (AI) to be an effective companion to them.
As to what they can do, the new AI will, first and foremost, be of help to players with money matters, serving as a banking system and also providing allowance.
Speaking of the ArFA-sys, the new AI will be heavily connected to another one of the biggest updates in the game — a new area called the SBC Flugel where much of the action will take place.
"Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" will also feature the brand new Kirito mode, which players can unlock as they progress in the game, at which point the protagonist will be able to transform into the character.
The official description for the new mode reads:
In Kirito Mode, you can enjoy a story different from the main scenario that depicts a battle with Death Gun. By reaching a certain part of the scenario, you will be able to switch between Kirito Mode and "Regular Scenario Mode" at any time.
"Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" sees Kirito make use of the Ultimate Fiber Gun (UFG), which is given to him from the protagonist and should be used in his "battle to the death against Death Gun." Glimpses of Kirito in action can be seen in the new trailer as well.
Apart from Kirito, other characters to expect in the game include the protagonist's overprotective "sister" Kureha, the high-level "Gun Gale Online" player Zeliskam and the handsome player Itsuki. Fans can read all about the characters here.
"Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Feb. 8 in Japan, and Feb. 23 in the America and Europe.
