As many of you know, the G.U. trailer was shown at E3 2005. CC2 has updated the site with pics, and extended the G.U. site promotion.   Send your G.U. theories here, or post them in the comments section. You theory might end up on the site. Directly following the release of the G.U. press announcement and then the trailer, this site's traffic quadrupled! Good, keep on visiting! Although the site's media server has taken a hit, the trailer will still be available to download via mirrors from nice individuals. Nothing else is new to report. In two days the "promotion" site will be taken down as stated by CC2. Maybe they'll put up some new info on the 27th? As stated in the previous news post, the hidden text on CC2's news section has been translated. It basically teases us about a "1 + 1" combo--hinting about an anime that will coincide with the .hack//G.U. games. Stay close to the site, new info might spring up any minute. .hack//G.U. trailer and info |

Mirrors wanted for G.U. trailer! Our media server is about to reach its bandwidth limit! If you have a lot of bandwidth to spare, please e-mail me. Update: May 24th The little hidden text I mentioned a couple of days ago has been translated. "It's already 2 years since then, no, 2 and a half? nono, so it was already 3 years...hmm? This feels strange... The previous story has come to an end. oh, it was mentioned at the top but i'll reveil little by little (that's all for today) hope you'll give me more time. This time, it's really...hot. ya, i think it should. ...just have to wait a while. so, whatever you ask I won't answer now. ...I hope we can get together then. which episode is this? hope.. this time will be a 1+1 combination, hope TV animation and Manga? Hope... Sorry sorry, but there's still a little [more] that has to be done (please wait)..." Well written fan theories on G.U. wanted! Send your theories-thoughs on G.U. here. They will be posted on the site, so include your name and age. In an Interview with Hiroshi Matsuyama, President of CC2, he states that G.U. will be three separate games. The three games will be their own games (not like infection through quarantine). The G.U. games will take place in the year 2017, seven years after the previous games. Since the events of the previous games, a cataclysmic event has caused "The World" to begin to evolve on its own. "PKs" (Player Killers) are now roaming the world, though it is not sure how they have come to be. Matsuyama stated in RPGfan's interview that G.U. is 60% complete. The first part of the G.U. series is larger and longer than the four previous games combined. The first game is slated to be released in 2006. More info here G.U. Trailer .hack//G.U. BG music .hack//G.U. short clip trailer There's a blurb on CC2's G.U. News section about a manga/anime regarding .hack//G.U. The text is hidden. Highlight where the text seems to end, and you'll see what I mean. I'll try and get it properly translated very soon. G.U. characters listed, plus analysis of Trailer and more.

.hack Newsletter is now open to the public. Thanks to the 40 individuals who helped test it out. Join the chat room and countdown the days until Project GU is unveiled. Update: 5-13 This will hopefully be the last update before Project GU maddness starts. .hack//Enemy TCG has ceased production and will be discontinued by Decipher. .hack will be taken out of production and no further products will be released for either line. We've all had a great time working on these two properties and are very sad to see them go, but each had a nice run and we are very pleased with the eight sets of cards we produced. We are confident that they will continue to be enjoyed for years to come. Update: 5-09 The official U.S. .hack site now has the flash countdown until Project GU unveiling. A new splash image has been added to CC2's official Project GU site. 9 more days... Visit us in the chat while you anxiously wait for May 18th. Free candy!  Update: 5-08 According to Moon Phase, there is talk about a .hack movie in the works. The movie is currently in the very early stages-- ie: just talk. 劇場版 .hack- 総監督 : 真下耕一 / 制作決定 ? Update: 4-29 A little flash intro countdown has been added on http://www.hack.channel.or.jp/ Update: 4-27 A new 'Coming Soon' image has been put up on CC2's site. The outline of this mysterious character is looking more and more like Kite, don't you think so?   (New pic on the right) Update: 4-18 Translation of the Q and A regarding .hack and GU on CC2's offical .hack site has been completed. Check it out here. Thirty days from today (which is perfectly timed to land during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) ), CyberConnect 2 will state what Project GU really is. CC2 has put up a countdown here. Project GU has been rumored to be the code name for .hack//Online since CyberConnect 2 announced its latest project back in June of 2004. Could this be what we're all hoping for, or will it be something completely different? Be sure to come back and visit for updates, and on May 18th when the bomb is released.

Long time member of the message board, crosbie394 pointed out that .hack was mentioned in this Month's Newtype Issue. Quoted: "the .hack world proved popular and continued to grow with additional anime as well as manga series. Mashimo teasingly mentions that there's more to come. "It's this huge project, you see, and there's a lot of speculation about what's going to happen, but we're proceeding slowly with it." Scanned image of article is now up thanks to DRC. (click picture for larger picture to read the text.) The quote itself is confusing on the first read, but read it again. I believe Mashimo is talking about another part of the ".hack project" in the works. Post your opinion.  |

This week I had the most honorable chance to interview Naomi Kokubo, translator of the .hack//legend of the twilight mangas and the upcoming AI Buster. Naomi was nice enough to answer all the questions I asked her. Give the interview a read, as it may answer some lingering questions. Post any comments or questions you have regarding the interview in the comments section. |
