Virtual worlds familiar to Sword Art Online fans collide in Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream when it launches on October 4. Curious how characters from different SAO universes will work together? We invite you to participate in the Open Network Test for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydreamruns from September 20th to 22nd, and dive into the action before the full release! Players can test the multiplayer features, defeat legendary bosses, and earn transferable loot.
What is the Open Network Test?
The Open Network Test (ONT) is a way for our development team to test online multiplayer, but also gives players a sneak peek into the game’s multiplayer systems and character customization. It includes co-op quests, PvP, and boss raids, and allows players to:
- Experience 9 playable characters: Choose from different roles including Kirito (Fighter), Agil (Tank), Sinon (Ranger) and Leafa (Support).
- Form a team with up to 20 players for massive boss battles.
- Provide feedback to optimize the final version.
During the ONT, you’ll have the opportunity to earn transferable loot, including hard-to-find legendary gear, and get a head start on the full game! Battle with up to 20 players, provide feedback, and prepare for your journey into the world of Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream before the official release. In addition, your participation will help the development team optimize the game for a smooth launch!
Legendary loot from boss raids and co-op quests
After completing a quest, players have a chance to grab additional special drops. The dropped items have varying rarity levels, from common to legendary. Each rarity level has increasing levels of beneficial stats. Note that the legendary items have a higher chance of having significantly stronger stat modifiers than their common counterparts, so if players get one that is available during the ONT, they would have a huge head start.
Fans of the Sword Art Online series will also recognize familiar bosses and be able to fight them in the game!
- The Skull Remover: A deadly enemy with many limbs.
- The Sword Golem: A colossal, armored Titan that wields a massive sword.
Both drop a ton of loot when defeated, giving players the chance to grab valuable gear!
Transfer your loot
ONT players will retain all weapons and accessories obtained through loot, including all legendary items that will carry over into the full game!
Some elements of progress are not transferable, including:
- Tutorials, co-op quests and raid status.
- Passive skills, skins, costumes, decorations and ranks.
- Player cards, in-game currency, friends list and ban list.
