New .hack saga announced: .hack//LINK
Posted on: Oct 28 2007 by Dave | Discuss on BBS |
Clarification: So far this is a manga adaptation with CyberConnect2 behind its story; no word on any other media spin offs of .hack//LINK.

CyberConnect2 recently revealed yet another new .hack media within the past couple days. Entitled .hack//LINK, the new storyline takes place in 2020 in both the real world and The World R:X. The main character is Tokio Kowloon (last name spelling tentative), a game-loving middle school student who has a normal life until Ayaka Amagi (first name spelling tentative), a mysterious girl, transfers into his class.



A special hidden poem of sorts reveals:

Good morning, Kite.
Your courage is needed again.

Good morning, Haseo.
Start your journey once more.
Your fury is needed again.

Good morning, Tokio.

Your story is finally about to begin.
It's okay if you still don't understand.
But, it seems like "they" have already set out?

You too, start here.
Now is the time that your power is needed.

".hack//LINK" -The Third Revelation-


Thanks to Kuukai, our resident translator for providing the information. More information will be posted as it becomes available!
