Echoes of Aincrad PS5 Demo Drops Ahead of SAO RPG's July Launch

TL;DR Summary
Bandai Namco has released a ~20GB PS5 demo for Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online, a sizable early preview with a large open environment and multiple weapon types, but no character creator in the demo and progress is limited; demo saves carry over to the full game (except Death Game Mode). The full game launches July 10, 2026, with demos also arriving on Steam June 15 and PS/Xbox June 16. Early previews praise open exploration and partner-based combat, though some note tweaks could improve combat impact.
