In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba. Called NerveGear, it was the first full-dive system and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.
In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is “Ordinal Scale” (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.
Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They’re about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn’t all fun and games…

Where it came from
Released in 2017, Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale was produced by A-1 Pictures to expand the narrative of the popular light novel and anime franchise created by Reki Kawahara. It serves as an original story bridging the gap between the second and third seasons of the television series, focusing on a new augmented reality game that threatens to overwrite the memories of players who previously participated in the deadly virtual reality incidents of the series' past.
The film was directed by Tomohiko Ito, who sought to leverage the technical capabilities of a feature-length production to explore the transition from virtual reality to augmented reality. The design aesthetic intentionally contrasts the slick, futuristic interface of the Augma device against the nostalgic, game-like settings of the Ordinal Scale system. It was received positively by the franchise's fanbase for its high-production-value action sequences and its thematic focus on the weight of past trauma, eventually becoming a notable success in the international anime film market.
