By Sato . April 23, 2014 . 1:58pm

Those of you looking forward to Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (and yes, that now includes you guys in North America) will also have an update to look forward to. The game will be getting a major update in Japan this July. [Thanks, Game Jouhou.]

According to Game Jouhou’s report, a major update is scheduled for Hollow Fragment in July. This update will raise the level cap to 250, and will also add a new feature called “Grand Quests,” along with a new events, fields, and maps.

Since the level cap is being increased, the development team will also be adding new dungeons and bosses to go with it. The update will also add higher level monsters.

On the partner and relationship side of things, more dating event features with Sachi will be added, and Argo the information seller can now join your party as an ally. The difficulty and various system functions will also be adjusted.

Additionally, starting in May there will be weekly downloadable content, which will start out with items for lower level characters and a Kirito avatar from the Fairy Dance arc of Sword Art Online. This wave of DLC will carry on into the month of June, and will all be free.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment will be released on April 24 in Japan and this summer in North America for PlayStation Vita.

lol kind of disappointed when i saw the outfit.

So it's kinda like MH?...

I don't know if this is common knowledge already, but it's the first time I hear about it:

One Piece unlimited World red will see a physical release in Europe only (and a couple of limited editions as well). In N.America it's digital only.

Whoops LOL, I thought it said a specific date in July but it was the Japanese release date.

Praise Kat!!!

Full PSP & PS1 compatibility is gone again guys.

Hope you all managed to grab some good stuff when it was up. On the one hand, I didn't quite manage to get everything I wanted in time (missing Red Alert Retaliation; Twisted Metal Head On; Sims 2 Pets & Syndicate Wars), but on the flip side I managed to get 6 games working on my Vita that shouldn't have been. So I guess I can't be too sad!
