Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream Season 2 Starts With Fuuka

Bandai Namco announced that season 2 of Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream will begin on January 8, 2025, and Fuuka will be the first new character to join the cast. She will be entirely free, once the update arrives, though we will need to unlock her. There’s also a new trailer teasing how she’ll work.

In order to earn her, people need to play through the Main Story Quest. This isn’t unusual, as it is also the means for unlocking base game characters. You need to complete every mission there and update via downloading the patch before she will show up in the roster. Once you do get her, you’ll find with the other Mage characters like Administrator, Eugeo, and Oberon. 

Fuuka is a character who plays a major part in this game’s main story. We often see her alongside the character Neige. It’s because of her help that Kirito, Asuna, and their allies are able to properly deal with major antagonist Gabriel. 

Here’s the full Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream Fuuka trailer. It begins by showing her design and bringing up that she’s a Mage. Then it shows her water-based spells.

While Fuuka’s addition is one major change, the patch will also include some rebalancing for other characters. Agil, Alice, Heathcliff, Klein, Lisbeth, and Yui will move faster in the field, due to a movement speed increase. Some specific moves will be adjusted, such as Agil’s Brave Taunt adding an attack boost to its effects. Basically every character experiences changes in the patch, like Administrator, Argo, Asuna, Death Gun, Eiji, Eugeo, Fukaziroh, Kirito, Leafa, Lisbeth, LLENN, Oberon, Silica, Sinon, Strea, Yui, Yuna, and Yuuki.

Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC worldwide, and season 2 starts with Fuuka on January 8, 2025.
