Sword Art Online: Progressive
The announcement about the new SAO was made through the anime's official twitter @sao_anime on September 19th. The new anime will address the light novel Progressive, which for lovers and who judge the first season to be the best of all a full plate, then you ask me why?
Well, the Progressive arc portrays the events of the first season, that is, it will not be a continuation of Alicization but rather a new angle of view regarding the first events. However, far beyond just remaking the first season, this arc has some particularities such as a greater focus on the relationship between Kirito and Asuna, which is more detailed and explored. In addition to having more details regarding the floors, to get an idea of each floor is portrayed in a book, including difficulties, problems in dealing with bosses, etc.
Launch Forecast
There is no specific date for the release of Swort Art Online Progressive, but as can be seen in the small Teaser on the Twitter post, a date is mentioned:
This date refers to the launch of the game in the novel's history... But if the marketing team decides to reconcile the two dates, the anime can be released on it.
