Echoes of Aincrad Shares Second Story Trailer Ahead of Launch

The exciting launch for Echoes of Aincrad draws near, as Game Studio Inc. and Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. start showing off more trailers for players to look forward to. Set to launch this month, we're getting a ramp-up of marketing ahead of the release, giving us an exciting look at what's to come.

We had the opportunity to check out the second story trailer for the title. Set in the haunting world of Sword Art Online, we get a glimpse at the opening ceremony for the game, where players lose the ability to log out of the experience, and Aincrad becomes their new reality.

It's a gripping trailer, a three-minute video chock-full of the story content that awaits players who risk their reality. The first half shows the tense situations that'll happen between new players and beta testers, with lives being on the line, and the second half gives us a look at the gameplay that we'll be able to enjoy across the new reality.

For those who are excited to check out the game, it's the perfect opportunity to familiarise themselves further with the world of Aincrad. Check out the trailer embedded above, and if you're interested in picking up the title, Echoes of Aincrad is set to release on the 9th of July, with pre-orders priced at £54.99 for the Standard Edition, £74.99 for the Deluxe Edition, and £94.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
