In this story, fans will enjoy the adventures of Kirito and Eugeo as they travel to four new locations in search of the resources needed to craft the ultimate sword. Blooming of Forget-me-not is a single-player adventure that brings to loads of new content.
“Kirito, Alice, Eugeo, and Medina fought for peace in the human realm, and the Administrator’s reign has ended. To avoid losing someone precious to me… To become a strong swordsman stronger… Kirito set out with Eugeo in search of a new Divine Artifact.”
