Sword Art Online Variant Showdown can be summarized as follows:
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.
Sword Art Online Variant Showdown will be released sometime in 2022.
