Sword Art Online Progressive Scherzo of Deep Night has just released a teaser for its new movie. The teaser opens with a shot of white flowers dancing on a lush green hill. Kirito stands looking over the horizon while Asuna sits beside him.

Suddenly, the music picks up and the scene changes to a dark room where a figure in a white hood is peeking around the corner. Kirito screams Asuna's name, and suddenly, they're barreling towards a giant horse with blue flames.

The teaser ends there but informs us that the movie will air in Japan during the Fall season.

"It's been just two months since they were trapped in the game of death that is Sword Art Online, and Kirito and Asuna continue their struggle at the vanguard of progress through the game. The fifth floor of Aincrad is a mazelike ruin, and the two dare to take pleasure in raiding it for the treasure it contains. Upon returning to the fourth floor, it's time to do some questing on behalf of the Elf Lord Yofilis--but here begins Asuna's discontent, for in doing so they will have to face her least favorite monster ever..."

Sword Art Online has truly come a long way from its first installment. Its expansive world and characters have been enjoyed by many and will continue to be appreciated when Deep Night is released. Stay tuned for more updates.
