Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Scherzo of Deep Night Gets North American Theatrical Screenings In February 2023
During this afternoon’s Sword Art Online event panel, Aniplex of America officially announced that the latest film in the Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- franchise in Scherzo of the Deep Night will be screened in select North American theaters across the US and Canada beginning in February 2023. The announcement of the film’s release was followed by the release of the second English-dubbed trailer, which is embedded below:
Sword Art Online -Progressive-, a retelling of the series’ Aincrad arc, was first published by author Reki Kawahara in 2012 and now spans eight volumes, with each volume generally covering a single floor in the Sword Art Online game, starting from Floor 1 in Aria of a Starless Night which was released in Japan in October 2021. “Scherzo of Deep Night” is the title of the fourth volume’s storyline, which means we’ll be jumping ahead to Floor 5 of Sword Art Online.
