Cyberconnect2 is well known as the developer of the .hack and Naruto series, but for now they limited their production to the old generation. That is about to change, as mentioned during the CyberConnect2 Corporate Information Conference Kyushu 2014 recently held in Fukuoka.
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."
I can't wait.
XiNaruto:
The New Naruto and .hack games are going to be awesome.
Well, I'm expecting the return of .hack. I like the Naruto games, but it would be nice if CC2 could make a new game in the series that made them recognition-worthy.
.hack, ah that brings back some wonderful memories. A new one would be bloody fantastic.
Question is will .Hack// be released in the west or will be forgotten yet again just like the .Hack// on ps3?
.hack anything at all would be nice plz.
