You mean publisher? In North America it was Tokyopop that brought over all the .hack manga and novels, but I think they've since shut down.(Phantom) Thief wrote:I'd like to see the novel and audio drama as well however which companies were involved the creation of the media outside of CC2 and Bandai Namco?
Sort of. They shut down, but have since relaunched. However, they are sticking to US creators (and Disney) for the time being (and letting RightStuf publish their books on demand) instead of dealing with licenses anymore, so it is unlikely we will see them pick up dothack again, unfortunately. I'd put my money on Yenpress picking it up if anyone does.Falions wrote:You mean publisher?

I guess all of it really. Not just Tokyo Pop, but Kondansha, Bee Train, Funimation and Lien as well. There might companies here who might be willing to get involved but I'm still trying to figure out who has the licensing rights over RagTime, Innocent Call and what sort of format they could use to deliver the extra content. And maybe how the owner could partner up with NB and CC2 to attach the extra content as DLC for the non premium editions of the game and so on. I spoken with Tokyo Pop over e-mail before so I don't think they're unreachable people if more fans wanted to speak with them. So I think it might be a matter of who owns what over where.God Ginrai wrote:Sort of. They shut down, but have since relaunched.

I doubt Tokyopop owns the western rights to .hack books forever. Like you say, they were licenses. Those tend to expire and those may have only been on a per-title basis. I'd say its the rest of the manga/novel thats dropped the ball in the wake of Tokyopop's semi-demise. That and Bamco probably not caring all that much about pushing for this stuff ta keep coming to the west.God Ginrai wrote:Falions wrote:Sort of. They shut down, but have since relaunched.

There is one (limited edition version) right now for the Switch, accepting preorders now. Whether or not it will still be available next month, I doubt it. Most likely only standard and digital will be available when the preorders are closed.
