Welcome to CyberConnect2 Montreal Studio
"As CyberConnect2 Co., Ltd. celebrates its 20th anniversary, to ensure we can compete further in the global market, we need to find our “Western Samurais”. We already have some foreign staff in our studios in Fukuoka and Tokyo, but we can’t just stay and wait for them to come to Japan. We believe there must be many creatives who want to develop with the Japanese touch. We would like to find these talents in Montreal, Quebec, a city where creators from all over the world come and where public institutions support the industry initiatives. Following Fukuoka and Tokyo, Montreal is our third battleground. Without a doubt, CyberConnect2’s way to create is going to change."
More Exciting,
More Refreshing,
More Captivating.

–President / CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama

Closure Announcemnet

It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of CyberConnect2’s Montreal Studio. 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.
