Remember SAOVS, the thrilling action RPG from Bandai Namco that debuted back in November 2022? Well, fans of Sword Art Online Variant Showdown, rejoice! The game has made a triumphant return following its extended 'never-ending maintenance' that began in September 2023. Initially slated to end in the summer of 2024, the developers needed over a year to resolve core functionality issues, ensuring a smooth experience for players.
Sword Art Online Variant Showdown Re-released, So What’s New?
