We’ll admit that we wanted more from SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris when we first had the opportunity to venture into the Underworld back in 2020. Now though, with the arrival of the Blooming of Forget-me-not DLC, more is exactly what we are getting, as the first major expansion for the game rolls out.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PC, SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris – Blooming of Forget-me-not may come with one of the longest titles we’ve ever known, but it should well scratch an itch that Sword Art fans have been concerned by.
It’s priced at £19.99 and adds in a new story, some additional weaponry, various outfits and more to SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris. In fact, we think that the arrival of Blooming of Forget-me-not may just be enough to elevate the game up and above its original 2.5/5 score we originally moved in with.
You see, we’d expect the tons of bugs and glitches that we had issues with to be fixed (hopefully), and this content drop should also go some way to sorting out the bizarro pacing that it first launched with. If it does fix those things, all would be great in the world, but if not, we’ll have to make do with just the new ideas and features that it brings.
Those ideas are plentiful too and whilst we’re not sure the price is totally fitting for what Blooming of Forget-me-not is able to provide, who are we to tell you what to do with your money.
If you do decide to head to the digital store of your choosing and add SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris – Blooming of Forget-me-not expansion to your game, then expect to be treated to the new major expansion – DLC 1 Blooming of Forget-me-not – along with new maps and dungeons, some fine divine beasts to tame, and additional weapons and outfits.
It goes without saying that you’ll need the base game of SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris in order to make any use of the Blooming of Forget-me-not expansion, but if you do and want to get involved, this Xbox Store link should be of use.
Should you be REALLY sold, then you’ll find the SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris Premium Pass more to your liking. This costs £36.99 but includes Blooming of Forget-me-not alongside a further big piece of DLC a little later down the line.
Let us know how you decide to get involved.
