Well at least they managed to release one of the two February chapters in February, even if was the last day.
Why was it on hiatus anyway? Was the author involved in the making of Maiden Tears?

Interesting. Looks like Urania is the leader of the Sophia A.I.s or something.

Actually all 3 currently hinted at chapters were scheduled for Feb. I'm betting CC2 were hungover from their 20th anniversary partying an kinda let 'em slip through the cracks lol.

Didn't notice those! Cool how the bios page has grown from its very small beginnings.

I am not sure if every forum user follows Kaze's website, but he translated the two new character infos:

Not much though, but at least we know who Urania is and that she will be relevant for the future.

New .hack//Bullet chapters uploaded by CC2!

It seems the story will end at chapter 42, so the conclusion is in sight!

http://www.cc2.co.jp/hack_bullet/35_gas ... drome.html

Ch.35 came out the other day. 3 in 1 month? Hasn't happened in a loooong time.

btw of the 7 remaining, none of these are there:
沈黙
ガイスト
疑惑
下水道
勧誘
Chapters confirmed lost to the ether? Unlikely but maybe added as bonuses to the physical version if they ever get that off the ground o.o?

Maybe they'll do a New World OST (with all the missing Guilty Dragon tracks as a bonus!)?

A bit of both, be sad its ending but be excited that it has a proper ending and not just dropped partway through. Having it end fully may warrant a physical release or another web novel but we can only hope xD

Doubt it. They're not as a big a company as some giant Western developers. In that regard, there are only so many games they can be developing simultaneously. As of now, they're aiding FFVII Remake development, Naruto Storm 4 Expansion is almost out, their other mobile games they constantly pump out, that Third Person Shooter Original IP they mentioned like a year ago is being made - so I'm not sure they have the available manpower to work full-time on another big project.

I may be persuaded to believe that very minor pre-production for the next .hack is happening in the background, but that would still mean it would be years before we hear of the game. Plus it's their 20th anniversary (they're advertising it through their entire website), so you would think there would be .hack something for this big date? But since there isn't, I suppose their priorities have shifted.

If anything, I could see another anime OVA or movie being a more likely scenario than a new game, as sad as that sounds :(
I don't know, maybe when the PS5 launches in a few years? Or maybe when they re-brand as CC3? Who knows, but I wouldn't have my hopes up.
