Echoes of Aincrad

Echoes of Aincrad is a 2026 action JRPG developed by Game Studio Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment as part of the Sword Art Online franchise. Set within the iconic floating castle of Aincrad, players create their own custom avatar and embark on a journey through all 100 floors of the death game that defined the SAO universe. Featuring real-time action RPG combat with a unique skill-based progression system, the game centers on building synergy with a partner character through its innovative partner system. Each floor presents distinct biomes, field bosses, labyrinthine dungeons, and story encounters that expand the lore of Aincrad's early days. The game balances faithful adaptation of the source material with original narrative arcs exploring untold stories from the Aincrad timeline.
