During an event held in Akihabara today Namco Bandai made a surprise announcement, disclosing that a new game based on the popular Sword Art Online franchise is in development and will be released in Japan exclusively for the PS Vita next year.

The new game will be titled Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, and will see the series protagonist Kirito meeting a mysterious girl as he braves an unexplored part of Aincrad called “Hollow Area” that continues to expand.

Below you can see the first trailer of the game that has just been released.

Its From Namco Bandai so I guess its not being localized, they rarely do it from what I've been seeing. :(
 
Namco has been doing a pretty great job localizing stuff the past few years.

They're just not stupidly optimistic.
 
Missed opportunity to be an Occulus Rift exclusive...because the whole show is based around an Occulus Rift-like controller
 
Looks like a monster hunter clone. I dont understand why not make a game featuring an original character and the game takes places during the floors that the show skipped, guess that makes far too much sense to be done
 
I'm VERY surprised that this is coming to the Vita. If this game turns out to be good, this would be huge to help give the Vita Vita.
 
Please do not support this franchise. Buy anything else instead. I hear there are three Love Live games coming to Vita!

Um, why? The show is great and I've been really wanting them to make an RPG game based on it. Loved the .hack games, this looks great too.

I would buy this day one if they brought it to America.
 
I see Asuna permanently sticks to Kirito's ass like the soulless waifu otakus want her to be.

Jumping to conclusions!

The series put too much strain on my hate circuit last year to consider buying this. I liked the universe though, a pity they won't try anything with new characters.
 
This looks like it could be pretty decent. The other game wasnt too bad and I enjoyed it for all its flaws, but this looks a lot more polished.

Lets hope that they design it a bit more for folks who are not familiar with MMOs since that was the biggest hurdle the previous game had with how all the skills worked.
 
This looks great. Judging from the trailer, it could be a nice action rpg like ys celceta, instead of a mon hun clone. Here's hoping, at least.
 
no it will not.

Can you get me the numbers for the MegaMillions while you are gazing in your crystal ball? Nobody is saying the game is going to make Vita rise to heaven, but any title that has a decent fanbase is good for the system, especially when it's exclusive to the platform.
 
Gotta love the stupid with those suddenly seeing an ARPG then lumping it in with Monster Hunter.
 
I just started watching this on Hulu, and I'm enjoying it so far. I hope this gets localized, because I'll totally buy it.
 
I would play the crap out of this if it got localized. Last one didn't so I don't have much hope for this one unless Sony pulls some strings.

Honestly though, I want GGO anime more than anything. Come on Sony! Make it happen!

I think it's fair to say that I quite dislike the franchise and everything it stands for. lol
 
Play as kirito? eh. Would rather have an actual mmo set in ainclad. With .hack people wanted an mmo set in the .hack world but that didn't happen till it was too late.
