Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet (ソードアート・オンライン フイタル・バレット) is a Third Person Shooter Role-Playing Game (TPSRPG), released on February 8, 2018 on the PlayStation 4 for Japan, and 23rd of February on Playstation 4, XBox One, as well as Personal Computers (PCs) via Steam worldwide. The game is being developed by Dimps, based on Unreal Engine 4, and is set in Gun Gale Online. It is the first Sword Art Online TPSRPG and the first Sword Art Online game on the Xbox One platform.

Game Structure
Fatal Bullet follows the events of Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization and takes place in Gun Gale Online, a game released by Zaskar following the advent of The Seed. The base game includes two modes: the Main Story, which follows the player's custom character, and Kirito Mode, a mini-campaign focusing on Kirito where the Death Gun incident is adapted to fit the Gameverse. The two modes are accompanied by side events, focusing both on the main Gameverse cast, and the Fatal Bullet original cast. The final chapter of the main campaign also offers two default endings, depending on the player's choices, as well as a canon True Ending.

Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet is scheduled to introduce three additional story campaigns via additional paid Downloadable Content (DLC). The first DLC, titled Champion of Gunfire (銃火の覇者) in Japan and Ambush of the Imposters in the West, takes place before the later episodes of the game. The second DLC, titled Creator of Entrenchments (壕陣の造手) in Japan and Betrayal of Comrades in the West, promises to follow up on the story of first DLC. The contents and the timeline of the third DLC, titled Pilot of the Machine (機駆の馭者) in Japan and Collapse of Balance in the West, have yet to be revealed.

Upon spawning in Gun Gale Online (GGO) for the first time, the Protagonist was amazed by SBC Glocken and its residents. Moments later, they were greeted by a girl in a pink outfit, who apologized for being late due to the tournament registration taking longer than she had expected. As she looked different from her real life persona and had a different name, the girl introduced herself as Kureha, the Protagonist's childhood friend. After introducing them to GGO and explaining the basics, Kureha led the way to the tournament area, where both of them were to participate together as a team.

On their way to the tournament, the Protagonist and Kureha met Itsuki, one of the top players in GGO, whom they later crossed paths with inside the tournament map. Highlighting his unluckiness, Itsuki did not wish to confront the boss in the next room and thus made a deal with them. As part of the deal, the Protagonist and Kureha defeated the boss, while Itsuki refrained from attacking them, as well as allowed them to be the first to choose their path at the next crossroad.

After parting with Itsuki, Kureha reminded the Protagonist of the need to be vigilant, since not everyone would be as nice as Itsuki. Just as Kureha highlighted that the rare item was their goal, the two stumbled upon a dormant teleporter. As the Protagonist waited in the middle of the room, Kureha jumped up to the console and accidentally teleported the Protagonist to another room while attempting to deduce how the controls worked.

While exploring the new room, the Protagonist found a strange capsule. Upon touching it, they were informed by the game's system that the Master Registration process had been completed. At that moment, the capsule rose upright and its lid slid open, revealing an Artificial Financial Adviser System Unit, or Afasys (ArFA-Sys in the Western localization) for short. As the Protagonist watched in awe, the Afasys Unit soared up, before promptly beginning to fall. At that instant, a weapon targeting the Protagonist missed its mark due to the Protagonist rushing to the Afasys Unit.
