Echoes of Aincrad’s Death Game Mode will actually delete your save file when you die

The English announcement briefly mentioned that the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game will let players access the Death Game Mode early. However, the Japanese announcement clarified that this mode features true permadeath – meaning if your character dies in the game, your save file will be permanently deleted, just like in the original light novels the game is based on. This happens the moment your character runs out of health and ‘collapses’.
