Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Re-released after More than a Year of Maintenance!

Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!

Remember SAOVS, Bandai Namco's action RPG launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long "never-ending maintenance" period that began in September 2023, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown) is back! While initially slated to return this summer (2024), the relaunch took longer than anticipated due to crucial functionality issues requiring extensive developer attention.

What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?

The game's comeback includes Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena competition where the player with the most knockouts wins. Compete in League Matches to earn titles and accessories. This season runs until December 30th.

Returning players who endured the maintenance period will receive a reward: 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets as part of the Returning Player Campaign.

A Restart Celebration event offers even more: up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and missions with fantastic rewards. This event lasts until January 30th, 2025.

Players also have a chance to acquire 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.
