.hack//G.U. Last Recode is a Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 remaster of .hack//G.U., a single-player action role-playing game series from the PlayStation 2, developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Games. The remaster compiles elements from all three .hack//G.U. games: .hack//G.U. Vol. 1//Rebirth (再誕, Saitan, lit. "Resurrection"), .hack//G.U. Vol. 2//Reminisce (君思う声, Kimi Omou Koe, lit. "The Voice that Thinks of You") and .hack//G.U. Vol. 3//Redemption (歩くような速さで, Aruku you na Hayasa de, lit. "At a Walking Pace"). .hack//G.U. Last Recode will include a brand new volume .hack//G.U. Vol. 4//Reconnection (あるいは世界を紡ぐ蛇たちの見る夢, Aruiwa sekai o tsumugu hebi tachi no miru yume, lit. "Perhaps a Dream of the World-Weaving Snakes") that happens after the events of Vol 3//Redemption.[1] As in the previous .hack games, .hack//G.U. simulates a massively multiplayer online role-playing game as the player controls a character who starts playing it. Dual Audio option with English and Japanese voice-overs along with English, French, and German subtitles.

The story focuses on a player named Haseo who hunts a player nicknamed Tri-Edge who defeated his friend Shino and left her in a coma in real life. Haseo comes into contact with other players who know of Tri-Edge and wish to stop him. The reason for Shino and several other players falling into a coma is connected with AIDA, a mysterious computer anomaly that infects the characters.

Development

CyberConnect2 decided to make a remaster to introduce a new generation of players to the series. All three volumes of the original game will be playable in the remaster. In addition to the series' 15th anniversary, this year marks 10 years since the end of .hack//G.U. and is also the year that the game's story is set in.[2]

The game will feature new elements that “make it feel like a new game.” The full-HD remaster will have high-definition movies, including all movies from the Terminal Disk that bundled with the special edition of .hack//G.U. Vol. 1: Rebirth. System improvements will include an added retry function, Cheat Mode, and rebalanced avatar battles. The release will increase movement speed, item slots, battle tempo, Skeith's shooting speed, and other systems. In addition, "Haseo with an unfamiliar look" will appear.[2]

On June 20, 2017, it was confirmed that .hack//G.U. Last Recode will be releasing in the west.[3]
