Crunchyroll has announced that it will be adding the Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- anime film to its streaming service on November 5, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. PDT. The film will be available to users in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

The story of Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- is described as:

In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba. Called NerveGear, it was the first full-dive system and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.

In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.

Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games...

Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- was released to theaters in 2017.
