.hack Reveals 20 Virtual Backgrounds for 20th Anniversary

CyberConnect2 has launched several celebratory wallpapers for the .hack franchise. Technically called virtual backgrounds, twenty images have been shared, each representing specific parts of this multifaceted IP. From the original quadrilogy to the G.U. series, there are plenty to pick and choose from, with them either focusing on scenery or characters.

Another celebratory event for the .hack series’ 20th anniversary was a series of 11 vocal performances by artist LieN.

Developed by CyberConnect2, .hack// is a multimedia franchise that includes multiple games, anime, manga, and novels. While the original PS2 quadrology took place in the fictional VRMMORPG The World:R1 and followed the adventures of Kite and Black Rose, the G.U. games focus on Haseo’s search for Tri-Edge in the revised The World R:2.

Besides the new fourth entry, the remastered collection includes improved gameplay, higher-resolution graphics, and new character models. This consists of a better frame rate and fixes to some systems that initially held back the experience, with adjustments that streamlined the experience and made it up to par with more modern quality expectations.
