According to GameNGuide, rumors say that the live action series will focus on American characters, while dropping hints on what happened to the Japanese characters as well. We're not sure how the fans will take that, but if this rumor's true, we're curious to see how they'd pull that off. The live action series is said to possibly start streaming on Netflix late next year.
Sword Art Online is also set to get a movie based on the anime franchise in 2017. The new film is titled as Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale. There has not been a lot of details released for the film, other than a general release date.
However, will the anime get a third season? As to that we're not sure. Rumor has it that the live action series will be the third season itself.
