CyberConnect2 details Next Plan strategy, Trilogy of Vengeance titles

CyberConnect2 has launched the official website for its “Next Plan,” its new original project strategy for the next decade, through which it will begin developing its own original properties that it will self-publish worldwide.

Get the details below.

Thanks to the support of our loving fans and fellow members of the industry, CyberConnect2 is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year.

From the bottom of our hearts, we’d sincerely like to thank the players of our games from all around the world, our clients who have given us the task of creating quality games for so many years, as well as the creators and staff who have cooperated with us every step of the way.

For the first ten years following CyberConnect2’s establishment, we strived to make the world know the name of our company. In the 10 years following that, our president Hiroshi Matsuyama validated and confirmed everything that had been put into place, and used this foundation to pass the torch and create a stronger, better place for creation.

After celebrating our 20th anniversary, Matsuyama decided that a new strategy had to be drawn out in order to make CyberConnect2 a stronger place that will be able to create even more engrossing content in the years to come. Today, we reveal that plan for the world to see.

A Message from CyberConnect2 President and CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama

■ Publishing Project “C5”: Announcing 3 Completely Original Projects!

In addition to the large-scope/long-period development projects we were focusing on, we are announcing 3 completely original titles, with 3 concepts in mind. “Small-scope/short-period development”; “Short playtime” and “Low-price”.

C5

C5 Stands for “CyberConnect Creative Challenge Competition”. C5 is a scheme which started with the goal of creating projects that can be published in-house.

■ Calling All Game-Lovers! Mass Recruitment for New Start-up Projects!

CyberConnect2 is looking for new team members to join our family and help work on the development of Fuga, Tokyo Ogre Gate, and Cecile, our three new, completely original game projects. You could be a part of a game that will be played by gamers all over the world!

Recruitment Message

We’ve made the decision to announce our newest titles before they’ve even begun development. You may ask: “Why?”

It’s because we want prospective creators to take a look at these new projects we have to offer, and possibly even help us bring these ideas to life. It’s because we want to start once more from square one–with all of you.

It’s rare for someone who’s just joined a game company to immediately be put into an important position on a brand new project. After all, new staff members are usually assigned to already-in-place large projects, and then work their way up little by little.

However, this time, things are different. This time, we’re trying to put short-development-time, small-budget projects into motion as a new system of game production. We are fully prepared to put someone with like-minded aspirations, skills, and experience to take on an important position right off the bat and serve as the backbone for one of our new projects.

This is a call to all people who feel something missing in today’s gaming landscape.

This is a call to all dreamers who see our new projects and think, “This is how I’d design it.”

This is a call to all creators who have the skills and experience to make imagination a reality.

If you’re ready to work with us to change the gaming world as we know it, apply to become a member of CyberConnect2 today!
