Set to launch this week in Japan, much anticipated Vita game Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment has been confirmed as getting a US release in the summer, answering the prayers of western SAO fans – though unfortunately at the cost of being a digital-only release.
The news, unexpected though welcome, marks one of the rare occasions a game spin-off of a late night anime has been promptly localised – although traditionally these titles have not been all that popular even in Japan, and fewer still have actually been any good.
The latest gameplay videos:

The game will likely become a welcome distraction for fans unable to withstand the wait for Sword Art Online’s second season due in July – pre-orders for the English version of Hollow Fragment are already open.
Digital only?
Guess sony really want you to buy their shitty memory card. I’ll buy digital when the 32 GB memory card are $20. For now, no fucking way.
Only digital? Man this sucks! I want my games in physical form and not data only. Can just hope that a possible EU version will be physical.
Glory to the Freemason, thanks to the grandmaster SAO gets engrish rerease.
o.o
Now I hope this one comes to europe to!
I don’t care if its DIGImon or PHISICmon I will buy it!
Not a huge fan of SAO, but the game-play looks awesome!
It’ll be free within 12 months on Playstation Plus. Look at Muramasa Rebirth which is free with Mays PS+ update in May in Europe lol
So u pay $50 just to wait 12 months to play the game when its free, When usually it’ll be only for $30-$40?
Disregarding the fact you get at least 2-3 free games every month on the Vita service, not to mention the PS3 freebies. Yeah in 12 months you could fill a 32gb card easily, 2 even with the games given away.
I’m still waiting for Watch Dogs,Batman:Arkham Knight,Crysis 4 for real men only not this childish games!
