.hack//Link is an upcoming game for Sony PSP

In Link, Players take control of Tokio Kuryu, a second year junior-high student. Presented through manga-style visuals, the game's story promises to clear up the mysteries from past entries. Over 100 characters from past .hack games, anime, manga, and books will make an appearance.

Gameplay promises to retain the basics of past titles, with players facing off in battle against enemies as they explore dungeons. The difference here is that you move around in a party of two, with the CPU-controlling the other character. The game will include 33 such CPU-controlled characters.

Another change includes a more action-heavy combat system. While specifics haven't been revealed, your movement and the cut-in animation sequences during combat are said to be somewhat like a fighting game. The game does promise a simple control scheme, though, for those who aren't too good with action games.


UPDATE 1: .hack//Link is listed by Famitsu as being 50% complete as of January 16, 2009.

UPDATE 2: According to the Tokyo Game Show Guide, .hack//Link is listed as 70% done since September 24, 2009.
