Closure Announcemnet
It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of CyberConnect2’s Montreal Studio.[5] We have made the difficult decision to shut down operations effective at the end of July, 2023. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our dedicated staff and our partners in the educational institutions, administration offices, and the entire Montreal video game industry.
Since the Studio’s founding in 2016 and the launch of the business in 2017, the Montreal Studio has led Cyberconnect2 on a creative journey in the development of tools and cutting edge techniques used in creating games.
CyberConnect2 will continue to grow and move forward with the experiences we have gained in Montreal.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to your continued support and guidance.
