During a livestream on Nico Nico, Bandai Namco announced that both Sword Art Online: Lost Song and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment will get a PS4 version.

The PS4 version of Hollow Fragment will be a “Director’s Cut” version with additional content, and will be renamed Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment.

Sword Art Online: Lost Song was previously released in Japan for PS3 and PS Vita, while Hollow Fragment was released as a PS Vita exclusive, and was launched in the west as well last Summer.

Yet, that’s not all. Bandai Namco Europe immediately followed-up on Facebook, mentioning that the two games will come west, and more precisely in the Summer for RE: Hollow Fragment and in the fall for Lost Song. The latter will also be released on PS Vita, but will skip the PS3.

The western release of Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment will be exclusively digital, while Lost Song will also get a retail release, at least in Europe.

Those that already purchased Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment for PS Vita will be able to transfer “some elements” of their save to the PS4 version, and all DLC will be available at launch.

In a following press release, Bandai Namco Europe released the pack shots for both games, and a batch of screenshots, also mentioning that the European release of Lost Song will have the original Japanese language with subtitles in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

That's cool, I actually enjoyed the SAO game on Vita. It was a quirky one with horrible translation, but I figured out how to exploit the battle system and had fun with it. I'll probably get the Vita version of the next game instead of PS4--unless it's really different from the first, the style of gameplay just felt right for a mobile device.
 
Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment Will Let You Make A Female Protagonist

Bandai Namco producer Yosuke Futami recently spoke with Dengeki PlayStation in an interview

about what we can expect in the future of the series’ video games. [Thanks, Hachima]

When asked about some of the changes we’ll see in Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment, Futami said that instead of Ad-hoc, there will be a new online mode. Additionally, previously, the character edit that only had Kirito will now be changed so that a female character can be edited.

Dengeki alsoasked about what we can expect from the next title in the Sword Art Online series. Futami hinted that the next title will be on PlayStation 4.

Additionally, he previously talked about if Hollow Fragment sells more than 200,000 copies, they would make a sequel, but Futami said that there

are still no details on that front to share. However, he did confirm that they will make a sequeltoHollow Fragment, and asked for fans to wait just a little longer for more details.

Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment will be available as a download title this Summer for PS4, and those who already own the PlayStation Vita version will get to transfer some items with their save data and unlock DLC at a later date.

I am looking forward to this. I really enjoyed SAO for the Vita.
