Popular anime "Sword Art Online" is getting its game, "Fatal Bullet," in the next month. To keep things exciting, developers Bandai Namco have been constantly releasing new information about the game. Now, new characters have been revealed for the game.

Argo, Daisy, Yui, Rain, and Philia have been revealed. Some details about them have also been shared including places like Lisbeth's workshop and the "Old South" area. Argo is the know-it-all, not because of her attitude, but because she is always the person to go to when intel is needed. Daisy is the ArFA-sys that is led by Zeliskam. As she precious to him, it is unlikely for her to appear in battle.

Yui is one of the characters that have been in the anime since season one. She was taken in by Asuna and Kirito and is pretty much treated like their own daughter. Rain is the only one, aside from Kirito, who has the ability to wield dual-swords in "Sword Art Online." She also appears in GGO (Gun Gale Online) and can also wield two guns. Lastly, Philis is the girl who was rescued by Kirito in season one in the Hollow Area.

Most of this information is actually either seen or can be implied from the anime itself. Like in the anime, Lisbeth will have a workshop where players in the game can increase the level of the weapon or even make mods for it. The "Old South," on the other hand, is a building where people can progress by beating enemies and huge robots.

The game's story can change a lot depending on the player's decisions. Screenshots were revealed showing different outcomes. One of the decisions, according to Gematsu, is the option to choose between solving the player's own problems or help his friends with their problems.

"Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" will be out on Feb. 23, 2018. It will be playable on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
