Echoes of Aincrad - Story Trailer shows the Sword Art Online MMORPG from your own perspective

Bandai Namco has published a new Story Trailer for Echoes of Aincrad. This trailer primarily shows a digest of the upcoming game's story synopsis, where the player will experience the in-universe Sword Art Online MMORPG from your own avatar perspective.

This trailer hints that the player will start playing Sword Art Online since the closed beta test phase, far before it gets turned into a real Death Game. Your avatar will also get to interact with other players before the mayhem, although it appears that you will also encounter the series recurring character Argo at this phase. You will also eventually encounter the series star Kirito, as well as the game's main heroine Iori.

You can find the new trailer with Japanese and English voiceover versions available below. Echoes of Aincrad will be available worldwide for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on July 10, with Japan and Asia getting the console releases a day earlier on July 9.
