Sword Art Online isn’t the only project that Skydance Media is working on. They are busy with various film and television projects, including Jack Reacher sequel, Never Go Back, which has Tom Cruise on board.
In spite of being occupied with other projects, Skydance Media has made Sword Art Online Season 3 their top priority. However, the new developments in the franchise will push the release date for the upcoming season. The fans will have to come to terms with the fact that Season 3 will not release before 2017.
Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale will release in 2017. Reki Kawahara is working on the storyline for the anime. With the same team working on the animated film and the anime series, the release date for Sword Art Online Season will be pushed back to 2018.
Reports suggest that even before the release date of Sword Art Online Season 3 could be revealed, the anime series has found a network that will air it. Netflix and Amazon Video are both bidding to win the rights for streaming the anime series.
With Netflix already streaming science fiction series like Sense8 and Stranger Things, the producers seem to be more in favor for them than Amazon Video.
Stay tuned for more news on Sword Art Online Season 3.
