Sword Art Online, the immensely popular MMORPG-themed anime series from A-1 Pictures and Sony’s Aniplex, is getting a virtual reality experience sure to turn heads. In a trailer from Anime NYC today, Aniplex revealed that Sword Art Online: Ex-Chronicle Online Edition is on the way to a global audience this winter.
The virtual reality experience allows users with and without virtual reality headsets to join an interactive exhibit that examines “the ever-evolving trajectory of SAO and opens the door to a new era,” according to the official Ex-Chronicle Online Edition website. The original Ex-Chronicle, available in Tokyo and Kyoto in 2019, provided an “interactive and retrospective exhibition that looks back on the history of SAO.”
