On July 1, 2022, Sword Art Online Progressive released the first trailer for the sequel movie. Although fans were relieved after the announcement of the sequel in June, they still wanted to know more about what Kirito and Asuna will be up against.
The prequel, Aria of a Starless Night, showed that a person who dies in the virtual world will also die for real, which made matters worse. The sequel will reveal if the characters are successful in breaking free of this hellish nightmare.
As announced earlier, Scherzo of Deep Night is set to be released on September 10, 2022, in Japanese theaters. Since the overarching storylines of the series have not been completed yet, the sequel will adapt from the fourth volume of the light novel series.
Yen Press describes the volume as:
"It's been just two months since they were trapped in the game of death that is Sword Art Online, and Kirito and Asuna continue their struggle at the vanguard of progress through the game. The fifth floor of Aincrad is a mazelike ruin, and the two dare to take pleasure in raiding it for the treasure it contains. Upon returning to the fourth floor, it's time to do some questing on behalf of the Elf Lord Yofilis--but here begins Asuna's discontent, for in doing so they will have to face her least favorite monster ever…"
