Bandai Namco Entertainment America has released a new trailer for the Kirito the Hero, a 2D survival game that will be included in the Premium Edition of its Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream online action game, which is scheduled to launch on October 3, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. PC gamers will have to wait a day later, on October 4, for its Steam launch.
The video shows Kirito the Hero's old school RPG-like gameplay elements as the protagonist Kirito battles a horde of monsters to survive while acquiring weapons and leveling up. It's a fitting mini-game for an online action co-op title that features a story set in a digital world. Watch the new trailer for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream's 2D game below:
