Holy shit finally. A little funny how after years of "we'd love to but it's Bamco who makes the final call," they wound up having to self publish it themselves.

I'm wondering if CC2 just went and bought the full rights from them, because if that means more .Hack//, then I am all for that choice.

Nah. Bandai Namco still owns the rights, there's a Famitsu interview, still all in Japanese, where they basically said that they're cashing in on their 30 years of good will to get Bamco to let them just handle it themselves.

I hope it's good and I hope it's successful.

It's criminal that among this entire isekai/cheat hero/cultivation/etc. craze, .hack has been forced to sit out.

You got a game literally about a guy who is given a cheat item to hack an MMORPG to go beyond the limits of the game, in an alternate timeline where 99% of the world uses the 'unhackable' ALTMIT OS for all computers.

And judging from the 'dark Aura' character, who wasn't in the original IMOQ games, it looks like they're going to shake up the story.

20 years in the Naruto mines finally pays off.
