The film is set after the events of the anime's second season, in which Kirito, Asuna and their friends start playing a new game known as OS (short for "Ordinal Scale") that, contrary to the previous ones they played, doesn't have a full-dive function and is based on a new augmented reality device instead called "Augma". In this game, players are ranked according to their achievements and players with lower ranks have serious disadvantages in duels against their higher ranked peers. However, Kirito and co. discover that something is wrong when they come across monsters from Aincrad, the world from the same game they were trapped inside for two years while fighting for their lives.
At the Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2015 on October 4, 2015, it was announced that the light novel series will be adapted into an animated film, with the main staff returning from the anime series. The film will take place after the anime series' second season, Sword Art Online II. It was then revealed at the Dengeki Bunko Haru no Saiten 2016 event on March 13, 2016 that the film is titled Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale. The voice cast from the anime series will return to reprise their roles in the film.
