In SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream, a new system is added to the world of ALfheim Online, but a malfunction causes all worlds and timelines to collide, creating a unique setting and challenging environment for Kirito and his friends. Lost in uncharted territory, their enemies become allies, departed characters are back, and unlikely alliances will be formed to survive the dangers in this unsettled world. SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream offers an original story in a game featuring fan-favorite characters such as Yui, Silica, Klein and more that focuses on a large-scale co-op experience with cross-play.
