Isekai anime film Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of a Dark Dusk is now set to hit Japanese cinemas on October 22!
Although it was previously scheduled to open on September 10, a delay was announced due to ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of a Dark Dusk is a sequel to Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night, which hit Japanese theaters in October 2021.
The two films are based on the Progressive series, a floor-by-floor reboot of the original Sword Art Online light novel series penned by Reki Kawahara. The story jumps to Asuna's point of view as she is forced to battle through all 100 floors of the immersive MMORPG world of Aincrad in order to escape. Scherzo of Deep Night follows the action on Aincrad’s fifth floor.
Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of a Dark Dusk will open in Japan on October 22, 2022.
