Sword Art Online: Lost Song



Sword Art Online: Lost Song (ソードアート・オンライン －ロスト・ソング－) is an upcoming Action RPG (ARPG) currently being developed by Bandai Namco Games for the PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) and PlayStation 3 (PS3) as the third game adaption on console for the series. Unlike the previous games, Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, Lost Song will be set in an alternative ALfheim Online (ALO). The game will be released on March 26, 2015 in Japan, and later in 2015 in English and Traditional Chinese in other Asian countries.

Story


Lost Song will include a completely original story which will primarily involve the exploration of "Svart Alfheim", a new area of ALfheim Online comprised of a series of floating continents close to the World Tree. The game will skip past the Fairy Dance arc.

Gameplay
For the first time in the series, players will be able to play as characters other than Kirito. However, it has yet to be decided whether players will be able to create their own custom characters or not. Parties of up to three characters may be formed, up from two in the prior games. In keeping with being set in ALfheim Online, players will be able to fly as well as walk on the ground. However, walking within dungeons will be mandatory. Auto-attacks will be disabled while in flight mode, but players may instead target individual parts of an enemy's body as they see fit. In addition, this game will add the ability to use magic to attack enemies or to provide support to one's party. The game will be the first in the series to allow for four-person online multiplayer.

Characters
There will be approximately 20 main characters in this game. The following characters have been confirmed as being included thus far:


 * Kirito (Kirigaya Kazuto)
 * Asuna (Yuuki Asuna)
 * Yui [In-Game Daughter of Kirito and Asuna (MHCP-001)]
 * Silica (Ayano Keiko)
 * Leafa (Kirigaya Suguha)
 * Lisbeth (Shinozaki Rika)
 * Sinon (Asada Shino)
 * Klein (Tsuboi Ryoutarou)
 * Agil (Andrew Gilbert Mills)
 * Philia (Kotone)

Other characters, including a number of newly-created ones, may be introduced in the run-up to the game's Japanese release.

Svart Alfheim
As an echo to the introduction of the Hollow Area to Hollow Fragment, Lost Song introduces "Svart Alfheim", a series of floating continents located adjacent to the World Tree. Each continent, reported as measuring approximately sixteen square kilometres in size, is reported to have a particular area type: plains, deserts, icebergs, and so forth. Each of these regions may be reached from a central city location, Sky City Line, which includes a town square, an inn, Lisbeth's workshop, and a tavern. The first of these continents to be revealed is Vorklinde, a grassland region featuring windmills and other large structures.

Soundtrack


A Sword Art Online -Lost Song- Soundtrack is to be bundled with the game's limited edition on PS Vita.

Trivia

 * The word "Lost" in the game's title refers to the usage of "lost" in "get lost" (i.e. lose one's way) instead of in "to lose something".
