If you haven’t already heard, SAO / Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris will be delayed. Its original release date was set for 22 May 2020, now to be 9 July for Japan, and 10 July for the west. The upcoming action RPG game was slated for release on 22 May 2020 for the Southeast Asia region (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia & Philippines). The game is available for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam.
As we’ve come to expect, SAO: Alicization Lycoris will be delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic. Bandai Namco made the decision in order to protect the health and safety of their staff.
