The game is based on the Sword Art Online novel series . It is the fourth main part of the game series and the successor to Sword Art Online: Lost Song . Hollow Realization has been officially available in Japan since October 27, 2016, and in North America and Europe since November 8 of the same year.
Gameplay
The game is an RPG with several action elements. At the beginning of the game you create your hero, who can be male or female. The player can choose from over 300 non-player characters to form a group of up to three members who can be changed at any time in the starting area. There is a new combat system in which each group member can chain a special attack and use it against an opponent. With this new combat system, the presentation should look like in the anime. In battles you can come up with your own strategies in order to defeat opponents as effectively as possible. These strategies are particularly useful when it comes to "monsters by name", which are much stronger than normal monsters. The in-game healing system enables the player to revive defeated allies. There is a multiplayer mode in Hollow Realization .
The approximate game time to complete the main game is 30 to 40 hours, with some tasks to complete, such as: B. reaching the maximum level or ending all speech events. The game should get three game expansions. The expansion Fighters of the Blue Sky should appear at the end of 2016 and contain, among other things, two characters from the predecessor Sword Art Online: Lost Song and a player-versus-player mode, but an exact release date is not yet known. In 2017 the expansion Shrine Maiden of the Abyss will come out, which u. a. will comprise a story of three chapters.
Summary
