SAO: Hollow Realization New Character Revealed

A new character is joining Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization and she’ll be voiced by the lovely Shizuka Ito! Anime fans might be familiar with that name as she’s breathed life into many popular characters including Irina from Assassination Classroom and Yayoi in Psycho-Pass – she even voiced herself in Shirobako!

Kizmel is an Elf swordsman who plays a vital role in a special quest to reunite her with Kirito and Asuna. Being an NPC who can act on their own accord, Kirito becomes worried when Kizmel suddenly disappears. Worried that she might have died and not been resurrected, Kirito sets out on a quest to find her.

As is similar to previous SAO games, you can string sword skills together to reduce waiting time in skills and perform more damage – what’s SAO without the ability to switch out like Kirito and Asuna do in the anime? There are now side-quests marked by a glowing fragment, and completing these will yield greater challenges and grander rewards, but it’s clear that you may not be able to do these alone and it’s advised to grab some friends to tackle the stronger foes – the other games also had an emphasis on online play although you never really needed it, and I’m sure players will still be able to fell these beasts with the AI if they’re of a high enough level!
 
There will be 3 DLC chapters too featuring a brand new story. Not much has been revealed about this yet, but you can check out some new images below.
