Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Returns After Extended Maintenance!
Remember Bandai Namco's action RPG, SAOVS (Sword Art Online Variant Showdown), which launched in November 2022? After an unexpectedly long maintenance period that began in September 2023, SAOVS is finally back! While initially slated to return this past summer, the developers took extra time to address core functionality issues.
What's New in the Re-released SAOVS?
The relaunch features Battle Royal Season 1, a four-player arena battle 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 are rewarded with 5 Sword Spark Mito Pickup Scout Tickets as part of the Returning Player Campaign.
A Restart Celebration is underway, offering up to 100 free Scouts, login bonuses, and mission rewards until January 30th, 2025. Players also have a limited-time opportunity (until January 6th, 2025) to obtain the SSR Sword Spark Mito (Light-elemental fighter) and new SSR Ability Cards: 'Destroyer of Destiny' and 'Seasoned Comrades'.
