The latest details and spoilers for "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" will feature the possible release date, plot details and cast members of the anime film.
It seems that the release date for "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" hae been revealed as the advance ticket page for Aeon Cinema Dainichi theater in Osaka briefly listed the "SAO" film on Feb. 18, 2017, however the date was already removed in their data base.
It is unknown yet if the supposed February 2017 launch date for "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" legitimate since Aeon cinema removed it from their website, however, some anime films most notably the "Precure" franchise have listed February launch dates as "Spring". "SAO: Ordinal Scale" was scheduled to launch on the Spring next year so it is highly likely that the anime film will launch Feb. 18, AnimeNewsNetwork reported.
In other news, cast members for "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" has been announced as Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will reprise his role as Kirito in the film along with Haruka Tomatsu as Asuna, Rina Hidaka as Silica, Ayahi Takagaki as Lisbeth, Miyuki Sawashiro as Sinon and Hiroaki Hirata as Klein.
There is also a new promotional art for "Sword Art Online: Oridnal Scale", which featured three more characters such as Agil, Kayaba Akihiko, Leafa and Yui, ThreeIfBySpace reported.
Lastly, the first trailer of "Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" will feature the main plot of the movie set in the year 2026 as a new VMMORPG called "Ordinal Scale" is introduced to th world as everyone can play the game using a new device called "Augma".
The design of the Augma looks like a pair of small earphones, although in terms of size and portability, it is far superior to the existing VR machine “Atmusphere”. Augma VR machine does not have a full-dive function from the previous devices, however, its AR function is greatly enhanced to compensate for it. It can transmit visual, audio and tactual sensation data to players while they are awake, thus enabling the users to enjoy fitness and health management like a game.
In "Ordinal Scale", players can raise their rank by collecting items that appear in various places in the real world and by defeating monsters. The ranking system features of the game are indicated by an ordinal number instead of a cardinal number. This resulted in high ranking players having overwhelming power and often rank has become a major factor in deciding the outcome of a PvP battle.
However, a new threat looms around in "Ordinal Scale" and it is up to Kirito and his friends to stop whatever evil plot that will repeat the "SAO" incident once more.
"Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale" will launch in Japanese cinemas sometime in 2017.
