Sword Art Online Wiki



Welcome to the Sword Art Online Wiki  This wiki covers the Sword Art Online light novels and related media.



In the latest news, the latest entry in the Progressive light novel series (Volume 7) was released on March 10, 2021. The volume was supposed to cover the entirety of the 7th Floor of Aincrad, which features beaches, casinos, monster arenas... and intrigues... but since the author wrote too many Kirito and Asuna scenes, he had to split the story into two volumes (again). The final pages of volume 7 confirmed that the second half of the 7th Floor story is slated for Summer 2021, meaning that there will only be a few months of waiting, just as was the case with volume 6. Volume 7 also marks the first Progressive book to be released without the author first publishing his draft on his personal website. Yen Press has yet to give a timeline for when they will be releasing the English version of the book; however, their usual pace for new Progressive books implies at least a 9-10 month waiting period, if not more.

In other Progressive news, Dengeki G's Comic Twitter account has announced a manga adaptation of the 6th Floor story arc by manga artist Mugetsu to begin on March 30, 2021.

On that note, Sword Art Online Volume 25: Unital Ring IV has been officially released as of December 10, 2020. Meanwhile, the first volume of Unital Ring arc has been released in English by Yen Press as of January 19, 2021. The next English release will be a side story volume, which is tentatively scheduled for June 22, 2021. Bear in mind that this date is almost certain to change as we draw near the release date.

On the SAO game front, Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris, the supposedly final game in the SAO game series, was released in Japan on July 9, 2020 (for the PlayStation consoles) and in the West on July 10, 2020. The second free DLC for the game focused on Tiese was released on February 20, 2021. Two more free DLC are planned in the coming months, the next one focusing on Selka and Alice.



In other news, the Sword Art Online Alicization anime concluded its airing on September 19, 2020. The final episode ended with an announcement for a Sword Art Online Progressive anime adaptation. The first Progressive story adaptation into animated format is confirmed to be a movie rendition of Aria of a Starless Night, the 1st Floor story that the anime greatly abridged for Episode 02 of the first season of the anime, from Asuna's perspective. The Sword Art Online Alicization -After War- special event in Japan on November 8, 2020 also revealed a new trailer for the upcoming movie.



On that note, the final Alicization War of Underworld anime Blu-Ray/DVD has been released. It contains an original side story by the series's author Kawahara Reki. The side story is titled "If We Could Walk Together" and is the third installment in an alternative Alicization timeline series by the author, answering the question of what would have happened had Eugeo and Kirito never broken the Taboo Index and instead became Integrity Knights.

A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was.

It took a vagarious group of craftsmen one month to survey the place; the diameter of the base floor was about 10 kilometers — large enough to fit the entirety of Setagaya-ku within. Above, there were 100 floors stacking straight upwards; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of.

Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was no easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city of the upper floor, the «Teleport Gates» there and of every cities in the lower floors would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels.

With these conditions, the huge castle had been steadily conquered for two years. The current front line is the 74th floor.

The name of the castle was «Aincrad», a world of battles with swords that continued floating and had engulfed approximately six thousand people. Otherwise known as...

«Sword Art Online».

The «Ocean Turtle» (オーシャン・タートル) is a mega-float located in the Pacific Ocean, at a place near Izu Islands about 250 kilometres away from Tokyo, that is run by Rath and acts as a government research facility for «Project Alicization», an effort to create a highly adaptive Artificial Intelligence.
