The Sword Art Online deluge on PC continues with Hollow Realization’s launch subsequent week

Less than a month in the past, we reported that Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet was coming to PC in February subsequent 12 months. Bandai-Namco are clearly attempting to get PC avid gamers on board with the anime/gentle novel franchise, as yet one more (single-player) Sword Art Online sport is headed our means, due in lower than per week.

Think you’d slightly play an MMO than a meta-narrative story about them? You’re spoilt for choice.

It was that JRPG releases on PC had been uncommon and strange issues. So uncommon within the late 90s/early 2000s that PC builders began making their very own, bringing us the likes of Anarchronox. Now it looks as if publishers aren’t simply dashing to get each Japanese title onto PC, however port numerous their again catalogue to the platform as nicely.

While Sword Art Online as an entire tells the story of a band of avid gamers dragged into some sinister web conspiracies, Hollow Realization takes half throughout the first season of the anime, set in and round a standard fantasy MMORPG. Fatal Bullet, due early subsequent 12 months, represents the second half of the story, with its sci-fi, shooter-style sport setting.

As you may see from the trailer, Hollow Realization is not an excessive amount of to have a look at, though that is comprehensible given its origins as a Vita sport. A platform that ports elegantly sufficient to PS4 and PC, though the easier graphics on 3D Vita titles usually betray their handheld roots.

The PC launch of the sport might be thought of the definitive version, and embrace all of the DLC from its unique Japanese launch, together with the multi-part Abyss Of The Shrine Maiden story enlargement, which is a pleasant perk, too.

The PC launch is about for Friday, October 27th, and might be Steam unique, though no retailer web page is but listed. No worth has been introduced, though the PS4 model carries an RRP of £45/$60
