The first information is about, SAO progressive: Scherzo of a Dark Dusk!!The film will be a new animated film based on the Sword Art Online progressive series.

Here is the synopsis for Scherzo.


The world's first VRMMORPG 《Sword Art Online》 has turned into a death game.More than a month has already passed since 10,000 users were trapped in the game world.

Asuna, who has conquered the first level of the Steel Floating Castle《Aincrad》, continues her journey to the top floor, teaming up with Kirito. With the help of the informant Argo, the attack seemed to be progressing smoothly, but ......

The top player groups leading the attack,《ALS》(Aincrad Liberation Squad) and《DKB》(Dragon Knights Brigade). A confrontation breaks out between the two major guilds, which should normally be fighting together. Behind the scenes, a mysterious figure is active in the dark.

In the midst of dangerous battles with death next door, a different 'threat' than the 'attack' is being unleashed on Asuna and Kirito.
Next up, events! As the anime SAO celebrates its tenth anniversary, two events are coming up! First, there's an art exhibition! The art exhibition THE ART OF SWROD ART ONLINE is currently being held in Osaka! The exhibition period in Tokyo has ended. .... In the art exhibition, storyboards and original drawings of famous scenes from the anime, illustrations newly drawn for this art exhibition, and many other things related to the anime SAO are on display!
