At Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2011, a stage event announced Reki Kawahara's Sword Art Online and Accel World series would be receiving video game adaptations.[1] The first SAO game, Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment (ソードアート・オンライン -インフィニティ・モーメント-, Sōdo Āto Onrain: Infiniti Mōmento) for the PlayStation Portable, was released on March 14, 2013 for Japanese players.[2]

Infinity Moment follows an alternate timeline from the canon: instead of escaping Sword Art Online on floor 75 like in canon, the players were forced to progress through the game's remaining 25 floors.[3]
