Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed some more details for Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. First up is a trailer that reveals a little more about Premiere, one of the new characters featured in the game. You can check out that trailer below.

Bandai Namco has also revealed about the Town of Beginnings and the new weapon improvement system. Players will be able to improve their weapons by visiting various Blacksmiths throughout Ainground. Each Blacksmith will have different forging skills and will help players strengthen a particular type of equipment. Players will have to provide materials and a fee to improve their equipment. The higher the level of improvement, the more difficult it is to improve the equipment.

Various places you can visit throughout the Town of Beginnings have also been revealed. First up is the Transition Gate Square. Here, all adventures are available through gates. There is also a Shopping Arcade where you can purchase various items and equipment to prepare for your journey. You can take in a great view of the town from the Observation Platform. If you want to visit a bunch of cafes or other stores the Park by the Lake is your destination. Of course, you can also go visit Kirito’s Room to discuss plans with fans and maybe even have a little bedside talk with your party members.

A lot of screenshots were released as well. You can check those out below.
