Developer CyberConnect2's cult action JRPG series .hack (that's not a typo, it's pronounced dot hack) is finally making a comeback, and the studio's managed to convince rights owner Bandai Namco to let it have full control over the project. The Dragon Ball Kakarot and long-time Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm developer has created basically every game in the multimedia series stretching back to 2002, and it's just revealed the first entirely new mainline release in more than a decade called .hack//Zero, which sounds like it's pretty early in production. The reveal trailer is still cool as heck, though. "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," the studio explains on social media. "It will be a title that is fully self-published by CyberConnect2.​ World-renowned violinist Taro Hakase has penned the music, kick-starting the project to the dexterous tune of his violin." JRPG icon behind Persona and Shin Megami Tensei breaks his 16-year hiatus from games with an upcoming "school life RPG" Octopath Traveler 0's devs see it as "new game" despite its mobile origins: "We wanted to go back to the beginning – to start from zero" New Dragon Ball game coming in 2027 features character designs from late series creator Akira Toriyama For now, the developer says this upcoming entry will be a "novel RPG experience that blends the series’ trademark duality of fantasy (game world) and reality (real world) with modern expectations, infused with 100% pure CyberConnect2 spirit." The studio also promises it should be approachable to newcomers and veterans. That aside, we don't know much about .hack//Zero. Like its older siblings, it sounds like this one will still play around with the concept of alternate digital worlds - think Sword Art Online - except this time our hero is also seemingly infected with some sort of virus. While we wait, why not check out the very best JRPGs to play right now.
