CyberConnect2 Co., Ltd. (株式会社サイバーコネクトツー Kabushiki gaisha Saibā Konekuto Tsū?) is a Japanese video game development studio mostly known for its work on the .hack series, along with a series of fighting games based on the Naruto franchise. They are also known for creating the Little Tail Bronx series (e.g. Tail Concerto and Solatorobo: Red the Hunter). In 2016, they expanded their workforce into the international market by opening a studio in Montreal, Canada.[2]

History

CyberConnect2 was first formed on February 16, 1996 as "CyberConnect" based in Fukuoka, Japan, but on September 16, 2001, it was renamed "CyberConnect2". On October 3, 2007, CyberConnect2 changed their logo and decided to expand their production beyond games, beginning with the formation of "Sensible Art Innovation" to create the .hack//G.U. Trilogy, and LieN to compose the music.

CyberConnect2 opened a studio in Tokyo, Japan in 2010, and later opened their first international studio in Montreal, Canada in 2016.[3] The Fukuoka location remains the parent company.

CyberConnect2 was tasked with developing the Final Fantasy VII Remake, described in CyberConnect2's March 2015 Famitsu job advertisement as a photo-realistic role-playing game targeted at the international market built on the Unreal Engine 4 involving physically based rendering. In May 2017, it was announced that they had left the project due to unreasonable management from above, and Square Enix moved the remaining development of Final Fantasy VII Remake in-house.[4]

Current projects

It was also stated during a live broadcast on NicoNico that CyberConnect2 will announce their "future vision" for the company, leading them through the next decade. This announcement will first appear in the February 1 issue of Famitsu Magazine.
