2013′s going to be a busy year for game development studio CyberConnect2. Not only are they working on the finishing touches for Naruto Shippuuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (March 2013), they’ve also been concurrently working on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3), as well as GREE smartphone action game Night Runner (Working Title) and additional contents for its other smartphone title, Guilty Dragon.
And that’s not all. The Fukuoka-based developer has apparently got pretty big plans for 2013.
In a New Year’s message YouTube video that just went live today, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama teased that the game developer plans to unveil three more unannounced titles later this year in 2013.
Matsuyama-san described these three new titles as “original new works” (オリジナル新作), which is Japanese-game-industry speak for “brand new IP”.
Developer CyberConnect2 confirmed the incoming closure of its satellite office in Montreal, Canada. At the end of July, it'll be shutting down its only other office beyond the main one stationed in Fukuoka, Japan.
The Montreal office opened in 2016, 20 years after the developer was originally founded. Its statement noted that the second office "led CyberConnect2 on a creative journey in the development of tools and cutting-edge techniques used in creating games."
No mention was made in the developer's statement about if it will offer any severance or transitional help to those about to be laid off.
CyberConnect2 boss Hiroshi Matsuyama has confirmed that a new .hack game is in development! in its 20th anniversary concert.
Yeeeesss!!!! I hope they vary up the dungeons, but I’m so happy this is a thing
I wouldn't mind some cleaned up remasters of the originals. Those are the ones I have real nostalgia for.
It was always mind boggling they released the .hack g.u. but never the originals. To this day I still never opened them waiting on the originals
I'd like the original games to be released again, I couldn't get into them the first time around.
lol ^^ but 6 people downvoted my comment and didnt get that it was a joke as well since I knew it was a joke ;)
From Nintendo Everything: "CyberConnect2 has a pretty major game coming out in just a few weeks. The company has been known for working on major manga / anime properties like Naruto and Dragon Ball, but will soon be releasing Fuga: Melodies of Steel. In addition to being a new entry in the Little Tail Bronx series, it’s also the very first self-published title from CyberConnect2."
Damn, was hoping for a .hack game lol.
Wonder what they in store for us.
I want another .hack game, and that would be bad ass if they made one for the PC as well, online would be golden, and if they had a mmo with the PS# and PC combined. * mind-blown*
A .Hack//Gu HD collection please :)
Im guessing a new anime QTE/beatemup/hacknslash game. Asura´s Wrath 2 is not necessary from the way i see it.
Naruto Storm Impact 2 for the PS Vita and PSP.
And hopefully a new Hack game alongside with an HD colection of the older games.
3 new IP´s would nice as well CC2 makes good stuff.
