The Sword Art Online light novels by Kawahara Reki have inspired 2 seasons of anime and 2 games thus far. On September 19th, 2014, Bandai Namco announced that their third Sword Art Online game, “Lost Song”, was in production. Recently, Bandai Namco began streaming the commercial for “Lost Song”. The first two games, “Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment” and “Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment” were set in Aincrad, the floating castle featured in the first story arc of SAO. This new game will be set in the fictional MMORPG ALfheim Online, featured in the second story arc of SAO, and will include magic and flying as the novels did.
