Over at the PlayStation Blog, Bandai Namco provided an overview:

//Refresher
For those of you who are new to the series or need a quick refresher (it has been a while), the .hack//G.U. series takes place in 2017 (!?) where players follow Haseo’s journey as he hunts down Player Killers (PKs), players who kill other players, in a MMORPG called The World. Haseo logs into the game to pursue one PK in particular, Tri-Edge – the player who defeated his friend Shino in-game and put her nto a coma in the real world. From there on, Haseo trains to get stronger to find and defeat Tri-Edge and avenge Shino, all the while uncovering the mysteries of AIDA, a strange computer anomaly that infects players. The series takes place over three episodes; Vol.1//Rebirth, Vol.2//Reminisce, and Vol.3//Redemption.
The Terminal Disc
For those of you wondering if you’ll be able to jump right into the series without playing the previous games, the Terminal Disc footage (Included within the game) is here to help you along. There are a series of videos that provide details of what transpired in the first series and help provide context for your upcoming journey.
New Content in .hack//G.U. Vol. 4//Reconnection
The MMORPG “The World” has announced that their service will be coming to an end on December 31st, 2018. Soon after that announcement, Haseo, who hasn’t logged into the World since the events of Vol.3//Redemption, receives a mysterious email. In this e-mail, Haseo finds a hint to where Ovan; an old friend, has been after they last saw each other. Haseo, once again logs into The World in order to save his comrade!
Along the way, a new character Kusabira, who’s mysterious intentions and past is unraveled throughout the new story, greets him.
Haseo’s 5th Form
Also new to Last Recode is Haseo’s 5th form that brings new power and skills for players to experience.
(Editor’s Note: A preview of the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu earlier today revealed Haseo’s 5th form dedicated weapon to be “Gate of Ouroboros.” It can use eight types of arts, as well as invoke consecutive skill triggers.)
Cheat Mode
For those of you have played the series and would simply like to re-experience the story, we’d like to introduce “Cheat Mode,” a new mode that maxes out your stats to allow for speedier battles.
Gameplay Features and Improvements
Additional gameplay features and tweaks have also been added:

• 
  
  
  • Increased Moving Speed – Characters will be able to move faster outside of battles for easier exploration
  • Power Up – Damage done to enemies have increased to improve the pace of battle
  • Reduction of Stun Time – Another improvement to the pace of battle, the amount of stun time has been reduced for quicker battle response and attacks
  • Increase in Exp. Points – Level up quicker with increased experience points after each battle
  • Retry Mode – In the original games, after players were defeated in battle, they would have to return to title screen to restart from the last checkpoint, players will now be allowed to try the same battle again without having to begin all over again
  • And much more…

(Editor’s Note: Read more about the game’s improvements here.)
Enhanced Visuals
We’ve made some huge visual enhancements! Moving from PS2 to PS4 has brought many opportunities for the developers to improve the look and feel of the game. The game has been up-scaled and is now in 16:9 1080p and at 60fps, with a lot of the cut scenes re-mastered – Making sure it stands the test of time.​

? Haseo’s 5th Form Exclusive Weapon: “The Gate of Ouroboros”

*Dual Swords, Broadswords, Scythes, and Dual Guns, which can be used up until Xth Form Haseo, cannot be used by 5th Form Haseo.

A Variety of Attacks through Form Changes
The blades of the Gate of Ouroboros are divided by Phase. The sword enables Haseo to fight while changing into various forms such as whip to mow down enemies or unleash a big slash attack covered in energy.
—After slashing the enemy with The Gate of Ouroboros in the form of a long sword, change it into the form of a whip to mow down the enemy with multi-stage hits.

—Make away with your sword to rapid-fire countless bullets of light from each Phase. The amount of hits will increase the more you press the button.





—A big slash attack in which Haseo swings his energy-covered sword down at the enemy.





? The Arts of All Eight Phases
When Haseo transforms into his 5th Form, his regular arts disappear and he can only use exclusive arts that harbor the power of eight unique Avatars. Since the capabilities of various existing arts are sublimated together, they become techniques of great power.
Also, when using the exclusive arts, the Gate of Ouroboros changes into various forms of energy weapons.
“Fierce Decapitation” – The Terror of Death
Arts with the Epitaph of the 1st Phase, “Skeith.” They transform the weapon into a scythe that mutilates the enemy with consecutive attacks. They do not have any special capabilities, but have high power and are easy of use.

“Flight of Deceit” – The Mirage of Deceit

—Innis
The Avatar that dwells within Atoli. It possesses the title, “The Mirage of Deceit.”

“Relentless Burgeoning” – The Propagation
Arts with the Epitaph of the 3rd Phase, “Magus.” They transform the weapon into a uniquely-shaped sword that hits the enemy with whirlwind-raising attacks. They are both offensive and defensive, and can absorb damage to recover HP.










—Magus
The Avatar that dwells within Kuhn. It possesses the title, “The Propagation.”

“Fated Carnage Mandala” – The Prophet
Arts with the Epitaph of the 4th Phase, “Fidchell.” They transform the weapon into a giant hammer that strikes a wide range of enemies with low hits and big shock waves. They are particularly effective against enemies with hard shells.




—FidchellThe Avatar that dwells within Yata. It possesses the title, “The Prophet.”

“Fated Blossom” – The Machinator
Arts with the Epitaph of the 5th Phase, “Gorre.” They transform the weapon into dual swords to recklessly slash at the enemy. They are particularly effective against flying enemies and enhance your power.




—Gorre
The Avatar that dwells within Sakubo. It possesses the title, “The Machinator.”

“Voluptuous Crimson Cyclone” – The Temptress
Arts with the Epitaph of the 6th Phase, “Macha.” They transform the weapon into dual talons to consecutively attack the enemy and end by blowing them away with a rose-like aura. They have a probability of inflicting the enemy with a “Charm” status effect.




—Macha
The Avatar that dwells within Endrance. It possesses the title, “The Temptress.”






“Gem of Vengeance” – The Avenger
Arts with the Epitaph of the 7th Phase, “Tarvos.” They transform the weapon into a mace to consecutively attack the enemy and end by rotating the tip for a multi-stage hit. It is particularly effective against enemies with hard shells.

“Judgment of Kyoutsukami” – The Rebirth
Arts with the Epitaph of the 8th Phase, “Corbenik.” They transform the weapon into an energy gun that burns enemies to bits all at once with a straight-line attack. They are high-powered long distance attacks.




—CorbenikThe Avatar that dwells within Ovan. It possesses the title, “The Rebirth.”






? Double Trigger
“Double Trigger” is a new system exclusive to Haseo’s 5th Form. While a standard Skill Trigger can only be activated once, by activating a specific Skill Trigger in the 5th Form, it can be followed up with a second Skill Trigger.
After activating “Fierce Decapitation,” “Flight of Deceit,” “Relentless Burgeoning,” or “Fated Carnage Mandala” with a Skill Trigger, you can activate “Fated Blossom,” “Voluptuous Crimson Cyclone,” “Gem of Vengeance,” or “Judgment of Kyoutsukami” by pulling out a second Skill Trigger.
—The Skill Trigger ends and…



—The prompt for a Double Trigger appears!
—A second Skill Trigger activates! Activate high-powered Skill Triggers in succession to hit the enemy with major damage.

Published 22 mins ago. 12 comments.

Plus tons of new screenshots and artwork.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode will have a “Parody Mode,” a collection of movies that self-parody those featured in the game, Bandai Namco announced.


Parody Mode will replace dialogue in moving and serious scenes with comical, voiced lines. It is recommended you play through the main story first before checking out Parody Mode.
In Parody Mode, you’ll hear lines like:​

—“He’s here! The legendary death voice vocalist, the Azure Flame Kite!”

—“I’m just no good. I am still amazed at how useless I am.”

—“But I, but I…. I want a girlfriend, too.”

​

​

In addition to the Parody Mode reveal, Bandai Namco also released several screenshots introducing the story of .hack//G.U. Vol. 1//Rebirth, Vol. 2//Reminisce, and Vol. 3//Redemption.
.hack//G.U. Last Recode is due out for PlayStation 4 and PC on November 1 in Japan, and November 3 in the Americas and Europe.

Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of .hack//G.U. Last Recode detailing Ovan’s appearance as a party member in .hack//G.U. Vol. 4//Reconnection.




Get the details below.​

? Vol. 4 Image Visual

The image visual for .hack//G.U. Vol. 4//Reconnection is illustrated by Seiichiro Isasagawa, who is also the character designer of this title. It features 5th Form Haseo, who is the symbol of Vol. 4, and an Ovan who has changed into a different form than he has previously appeared. In new forms, the two will stand alongside each other for a new story.
Behind Haseo and Ovan is the silhouette of a girl that seems to be Kusabila, and an unidentified giant rising to the surface. Who exactly is this giant…?
? Ovan Joins the Party
? Ovan
#1. An Ally to Fight Alongside
Ovan has taken a different road from Haseo in the story up until now, but in Vol. 4, he will become an ally that fights alongside him.

#2. A New Form
Ovan’s left shoulder has changed into the shape of a third arm, and the color also went from sinister red to a gentle blue.

#3. Ovan’s Exclusive Weapon
Ovan’s existing Lost Weapon, “Coming Reincarnation,” has grown into out-of-spec twin guns known as the Lost Weapon, “Sousei Hirameku Oumagatoki.” Ovan is equipped with bayonets in each hand, each with a different form. In his left hand, he has the “Phoenix” (rifle-type) bayonet, and in his right hand, he has the “Qilin” (pistol-type) bayonet.

? Battle
#1. Attack with a New Weapon
While calmly walking around the battlefield, rapid-fire each bayonet in turn. Use attack actions suited to the always composed Ovan.

#2. Attack Using Ovan’s Third Arm

Mow down surrounding enemies with a wide ranging attack using Ovan’s bat wing-like third arm. The arm can transform to have huge, sharp claws, which can be used to cut through the enemies in front of you.

? Arts
#1. Neighbor of Truth
Ovan jumps and uses each bayonet in addition to the third arm on his left shoulder to fire a three-line blue shockwave. It is a powerful art that attacks a wide range. The shockwave even leaves engravings on the ground.
—1. Jumps and fires a shockwave using the bayonets and third arm.

—2. Damages a wide range of enemies around the target.





#2. Neighbor of Restriction
Covers the enemy in a dome-shaped energy, and a great number of third arms appear to skewer them. It is an art in which all enemies inside the dome receive damage.
—1. Ovan unleashes a dome-shaped energy in front of him.

—2. A great number of third arms indiscriminately and recklessly pierce the enemies inside the dome.
