A daily gift campaign will be held in the first week of Season 5, starting October 2 at 15:00 JST (October 2 at 2:00AM EST / October 1 at 11:00PM PST).

Sword Art Online: Last Recollection has been added to “History of SAO.” By collecting Memory Crystals in battle, event CGs from Last Recollection can be unlocked.

Players that earned all four Neige Fragments can unlock Neige. The Extreme Boss Raids that hold Neige Fragments will continue to be held from October to December, allowing players more time to unlock her.

The first dual-element Extreme Boss has been added: Dolzel the Chaosdrake Nova (Water/Light attack, Electric/Fire weakness).

New enemies, Death Angels, will appear in Free Quests in Wind Fairy Grasslands and Dusk Wasted. Defeating them will earn players more currency and higher-grade rewards.

Items from the ReoNa collab, Diva from Another World, as well as items from the Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online season 2 collaboration will be added to the game’s store. The store is also holding a first anniversary sale from October 2-16.

A new character, Spriggan Kirito, will be added to the store.

A new mode, Single Player (BETA) will be added. Single Player allows players to take on Co-Op Quests and Boss Raids with a team of three freely-selectable NPCs, with diminished rewards compared to playing with other players.

(An internet connection is still required.)

Sword Art Online has finally returned the favor from Tales of Arise by adding Tales of Xillia Remastered collaboration costumes. Jude’s costume, “Indomitable Challenger,” is a login bonus, while Milla’s costume , “Unshakable Contender,” can be purchased with SAO Tickets.
