Hollow Fragment

Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment is an RPG game for the PS Vita. This will be the second game to be adapted for a console. It is sad to be released April 24, 2014. At the moment it is only being released for Japanese audiences much like Infinity Moment.

Futami Takakai, producer, has announced that he would like to release the game for PS4 as well:
“If there is going to be another installment of Sword Art Online, I’d like to try and make it for PS4,” Takakai told Dengeki Online. “An original novel set in a next generation network RPG, or more than that, a novel about personal experience or connections—I wonder if such a game could be fun to play… For now look forward to Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, releasing April 24!”

Kirito and Asuna

Not much is known other than the trailers released. We do know that Kirito meets up with a girl named Filia, an orange player, in a Hollow Area. She claims she is looking for ‘a certain truth.’ Within the hollow area are unknown things. This is set in an alternate universe from the original SAO. You characters from the ALfheim arc as well as the Gun Gale Online arc. In one trailer you do see the Prince of Hell character trying to kill Filia. Perhaps the two are connected.
