Yesterday, the official website for Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale began streaming the second teaser introducing new characters. The original video was region-locked to Japan until Aniplex of America began streaming the trailer too.
The New Characters & Descriptions:
Yuna, “an idol in the AR world of Ordinal Scale. If a player encounters her in the game, they can acquire special upgrades.”
Dr. Shigemura, “a developer and an authority on non-invasive BMI (Brain Machine Interface) research. He is also a professor in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at Toho Technological University. Due to his radical theories on electrical physiology, his peers regard him as a crackpot.”
Eiji, “a mysterious young swordsman, who is the top ranked player in Ordinal Scale. Kirito and his friends encounter him during gameplay.”
