It takes place in 2017 in the world’s largest MMORPG, The World R:2.

In this virtual world, there will be friends and fun adventures waiting for you… However, there are also rampant PK, repeated conflicts between guilds, and mysterious events that even the game developers can’t remember incorporating…

“The world” had begun to turn into a lawless zone that even the system administrators could not control.

In such a chaotic game, there emerged a young man, “Haseo”, who was feared as the “Terror of Death”.

The goal of Haseo, who indiscriminately hunts PKs, is to find and take revenge on an unidentified PK called the “Tri-Edge” who PKed his cherished friend, “Shino”, with a mysterious power outside the specifications and drove her unconscious in the real world.

Who is “Tri-Edge”? Why does in-game deaths affect the real world?
Witness the relationship between Haseo and “The World” as they unravel the mystery which begins to go beyond the realm of “fun” games.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode is currently available for the PS4 and PC, and will launch for the Nintendo Switch on March 10, 2022.
