The movie is based on the events occurred in all 3 .hack//G.U games. It has been scheduled to be released in Japan on January 25th, 2008.

.hack// G.U. is actually the prologue of the anime series, .hack//Roots. The story is situated in an mmorpg called "The World R:2". So, what happen to the original one "The World"?

Well, a fire in the main C.C Corp. (the company that created "The World") building resulted in massive loss of data, forcing the company to shut down "The World". By splicing in data from what would have been another game, CC Corp. was able to rebuild the game system. "The World R:2" was promptly created the following year.

However, many veteran players objected the move because they can't transfer their character data over (imagine getting a high level character after so long and suddenly, you have to restart from level 1. It's a pain in the butt, I know) Nonetheless, many new players join the game. Furthermore, as a result of the new world, 4 major clans came into power.

.hack//G.U revolves around Haseo and his quest to seek revenge against Tri-Edge, who had PKed his close friend, Shino, and also other players. The problem is when you get PKed by Tri-Edge, your real self will enter into coma. Due to his thirst for revenge, he started hunting down PKers and won't stop till he met Tri-Edge. As a result, he emerged as a powerful PKKer known as the "Terror of Death". When he finally encounters Tri-Edge...

I'll not spoilt for you people! Go play the game or something =P On a serious note, the game is really worth the time playing. Graphics and music are good, not to mention the amazing storyline. At the very least you can watch the anime .hack//Roots before playing the game if you're afraid you can't follow the storyline. If you're too lazy to play the game, just wait for the movie then. It looks real promising! Here's the trailer for the movie, although the high definition quality of the movie cant be seen here cos it's...YouTube =P Sound might be a little soft for the video
