The game released in November 2022, but went down for maintenance in September 2023 due to major bugs in the game.
Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game’s story:
Cross Edge. A game supposedly designed by a middle school genius. It’s a title Kirito has heard before. One day, two rumors about the game come to his attention. The first: There’s a mysterious player who attacks out of nowhere. Losing to them means losing a portion of your own memories. The second: This player goes around wearing a hood pulled low to hide their eyes… Kirito can’t help but recall Laughing Coffin, the player-killer guild he faced in SAO.
In part to investigate these rumors, Kirito and his friends begin playing Cross Edge, and are soon targeted in a surprise attack.
The game celebrates the 10th anniversary of the anime franchise.
