Game Studio Inc.

Game Studio Inc. is the Japanese developer of Echoes of Aincrad. The game is being published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Relationship to Earlier SAO Games

Previous Sword Art Online games set in the Aincrad arc (such as Infinity Moment, Hollow Fragment, and Hollow Realization) were developed by Aquria. Echoes of Aincrad is being developed by a different studio, Game Studio Inc., so the game's underlying engineering and design leadership are distinct from those earlier releases.
