Sword Art Online is a light novel series that has been adapted into anime, manga, video games etc.. So, whether the anime continues or not does not determine whether the series itself continues. There is plenty of material in the novel for another season, but last time it took 2 years (counting from the first episode air date) for a new season to start airing, so it's highly unlikely that a third season will air this year.
