It is possible to notice in the game's most recent trailer the presence of some characters that appeared in “War Of Underworld” , leading us to believe that the game could cover even this most updated part of the anime.
As for the character Medina, we see that she has a strong bond with the Administrator, and will feel a certain resentment towards Kirito due to his achievements in the first part of Alicization.
