Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of Deep Night Releases New Trailer and Poster

This year marks Sword Art Online‘s 10th anniversary, and there is a lot going for the franchise to celebrate. It won’t be long until the anime drops its next movie, after all, and it will put Asuna back in the spotlight. September will mark the sequel’s debut, and now, we have been given a new look at Sword Art Online Progressive: Scherzo of Deep Night to tide us over. 

As you can see above, the new promo comes in at under a minute, but it packs plenty into the time. Asuna is brought back to the screen as this sequel follows up the events of Sword Art Online‘s most recent film. Our heroine is joined on screen by other favorites like Kirito, and we get to see more of the anime’s original arc through Asuna’s point of view.

For those unfamiliar with this big project, the next Sword Art Online film will adapt a new volume of the light novels that originally explored Asuna’s POV during her travels in Aincrad. The fourth volume of light novels will make up the bulk of this movie. So if you are not familiar with the spin-off series, you can have some time to catch up.

Of course, you can also catch up on the story thanks to Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night. The movie kicked off the adaptation of the light novels in Fall 2021. The movie was recently released in Japan on Blu-ray and DVD as well as through several streaming services. At this time, no word has been given on when the first movie will hit shelves stateside, and the same goes for Sword Art Online‘s upcoming sequel.
