.hack//New World To Shut Down In Less Than A Year Of Service This December

Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 announced New World as part of a project with lofty goals of bringing back the setting and concept of the .hack series from scratch, but unfortunately, their first game is terminating its service on December 20, 2016, less than a year since its launch.

No reasons were provided for their decision to end services for .hack//New World, but they shared a message thanking all fans that played it. They will stop selling the game’s micro-transaction items on November 18, and the game will officially come to a close on December 20, 2016.

.hack//New World launched in January 8, 2016 for Android and iPhone.
