Step into the floating castle of Aincrad, a world of breathtaking beauty and danger where every battle could be your last. Echoes of Aincrad is a Sword Art Online JRPG adventure from Game Studio Inc., published by Bandai Namco, that casts you not as Kirito but as yourself — your own avatar, your own legend, in a world where survival is everything.

Overview

Step into Aincrad, a world of beauty and danger where every battle could be your last. Create your hero, choose your gear, and master combat by building synergy with your partner, leveling up, and unlocking special abilities. Will you rise and claim your destiny, or fall to foes stronger than you imagined?

Key features

Play as yourself, not a protagonist

Design and customize your own avatar to create a hero that reflects your vision. This is your identity, your legend, and your chance to leave a mark on a world where survival is everything — a notable break from SAO games that put you in Kirito s shoes.

Build your own fate

Shape your adventure by adapting equipment, weapons, statistics, partner, and special skills to favor speed, intelligence, or endurance. Growth is essential for survival, and every level up widens what you can take on.

Partner synergy

Deepen the synergy with the partner of your choice, adapting their tactics and build to create a team dynamic that turns every battle into a triumph. Your partner is not a follower — they are half of your combat identity.

An expanding world

Wander diverse cities and journey through stunning environments, from serene plains to perilous dungeons filled with secrets. Complete quests, hunt rare treasures, and challenge formidable foes in real-time action combat. The map expands as your story unfolds, revealing new areas and dangers at every turn.
