The name is going to be SAO: Ordinal Scale, and will be coming to theaters in Japan in 2017.
The movie takes place in an all new story written by Kawahara between then Mothers Rosario(the last arc of the anime Season Two) and Alicization Arcs(currently only in books and manga).
The movie will take place in a new game, called Ordinal Scale. This game uses a new augmented reality device called "Augma."
A next-generation, wearable multi-device that looks like a pair of small headphones. In terms of size and portability, it is far superior to the existing VR machine “Amusphere.” Augma doesn't have a full-dive function, however, its AR function is greatly enhanced to compensate for it. It can transmit visual, audio and tactile sensation data to players while they are awake, thus enabling the users to enjoy fitness and health management like a game.
“Ordinal Scale,” an ARMMO-RPG that was designed exclusively for “Augma.” Following its release, it has become the most discussed game due to its advanced technology. In this game, players can raise their rank by collecting items that appear in various places in the real world and by defeating monsters. This “Ranking System” is the main feature of the game, and in this system, each player's status is determined by their rank which is indicated by an ordinal number instead of a cardinal number. As the result, high ranking players are given overwhelming power and often rank has become a major factor in deciding the outcome of a PvP battle.
The voice actors for Kirito and Asuna have been confirmed to stay the same. The same director from the anime series will remain.
Good enough. Hopefully something good will come out from it.
It would be interesting to see it especially since it will be an original story, so we don't know what will happen. It would have been much better to have a season 3... but they might be waiting for the Alicization Arc to end.
