The video game franchise, which originally launched on the PlayStation 2 in 2006 and 2007 and then got re-released as a compilation of all titles on the PS4 and PC via Steam in 2017, is finally back and in time for the .hack franchise 20th anniversary. Players, newcomers and fans alike, will be able to enjoy the full experience of the whole series in just one video game compilation on the Nintendo Switch.
