The New Sword Art Online Game Lets You Play as All Your Favorites

As well as some new faces.

Previous games Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment required you to play as series protagonist Kirito—though you could customize his avatar in the latter. All the other popular characters were relegated to AI-controlled party members.

However, in the new game, Sword Art Online: Lost Song, you can play as many of the franchise’s most popular characters (and some new ones, too). Check out the list of playable characters below.
