Sword Art Online: Alicization LycorisLaunch Trailer
Personally, on one side I think it’s crazy a game from a franchise as big asSAOdidn’t get all the resources it needed to launch without these problems. But I don’t think I need to say more if you’re into anime and manga adapted games for a few years. As this definitely isn’t the first time. On the other side the pandemic definitely played a huge part in all this too, so it’s more understandable. I think it’s a good thing they are actively acknowledging these problems and communicating about it as well.
SAO Alicization Lycorisis available on PC via Steam, Xbox One, and PS4.
