Exciting news for fans of the .hack series as CyberConnect2 celebrates its 30th anniversary with the announcement of .hack//Z.E.R.O., the first original .hack console game in over ten years. While details are scarce at the moment, CyberConnect2 is taking the reins on this project, handling everything from development to publishing. This marks a departure from the previous partnership with Bandai Namco, who has traditionally been the series’ main publisher.
CyberConnect2 shared on their official website, “The .hack series has always been developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, but for .hack//Z.E.R.O., Bandai Namco Entertainment has given CyberConnect2 permission to manage the entirety of the project from planning and development to release. It will be a title that is fully self-published by CyberConnect2. Renowned violinist Taro Hakase has composed the music, setting the tone for this exciting project. .hack//Z.E.R.O. promises to offer a unique RPG experience that combines fantasy and reality with a modern twist, all infused with the signature CyberConnect2 spirit. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, this game is sure to captivate. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest installment of .hack.”
Platforms and release dates for .hack//Z.E.R.O. have yet to be confirmed, as the game is still in the early stages of development. Fans may have to wait a few more years before getting their hands on this highly anticipated title.
