Bandai Namco has delayed Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris from its previously announced late May release date to July 9 in Japan and July 10 in the west. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

In a message, Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris producer Yosuke Futami said that with inevitable delays in development due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Bandai Namco made the decision to delay the game to protect the health and safety of its staff.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

Sword art anime and also the game had pretty good success last year. Its pretty sad for them not to be able to continue the profit streak. Then again I assume they will continue to do something new in the background.
