With just a few days before the game launches across PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X/S, we finally have the trophy list for this epic-looking action RPG, giving us an idea of the challenges that await.
Developed by Game Studio Inc., published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., and set in the Sword Art Online universe, Echoes of Aincrad is an action RPG within a virtual MMO where if you die in the game, you die in real life! Create your character with the game’s robust character creation system, explore a vast, thriving world, level up to unlock powerful abilities, and build synergy with a range of partner characters you meet along the way.
The Echoes of Aincrad trophy list, which comes via the TruTrophies website, consists of 40 bronze, 9 silver, 2 gold, and the platinum trophy, totaling 52 trophies. There are several secret trophies in the list, so we have taken the liberty of hiding them to avoid spoilers.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a game based on an anime about an MMO would have a bunch of grindy trophies, and Echoes of Aincrad looks to have them in spades! Not only do players need to collect a bunch of each weapon type, but they will also have to learn every skill for each one.
Those aren’t the only grind-inducing trophies, with Proficient Player needing a player to reach level 100, Boss Killer earned from defeating 100 bosses, and Treasure Hunter unlocked by obtaining items from numerous chests. Thinking about how many Database entries are likely scattered across the game is already keeping us up at night!

Echoes of Aincrad’s trophy list serves the faux MMO style of the game, but we wish there were a bit more creativity in the list, instead of just lots of similar trophies awarded for repeated actions.
Echoes of Aincrad releases on July 9th across PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X/S, with a demo available now on all launch platforms.
