CyberConnect2 is touring a 30th anniversary exhibition across all 47 prefectures of Japan, has opened a second scenario designer training school for anime-licensed games, and is developing two new projects: the action RPG .hack//Z.E.R.O. and a new Little Tail Bronx installment.
CyberConnect2 is in the midst of its 30th anniversary year, marked by a touring exhibition that began with a free event in Tokyo on June 27-28, 2026. The exhibition will visit all 47 prefectures, and a talk event at the Tokyo stop featured President Hiroshi Matsuyama discussing two upcoming projects: the action RPG .hack//Z.E.R.O. and a new Little Tail Bronx installment. Matsuyama framed .hack//Z.E.R.O. as a modern take rather than a nostalgia play.
The studio also continues to invest in its internal writing pipeline. On June 23, 2026, it launched the Scenario Designer Training School 2026 audition project, seeking scenario designers for anime-licensed games. The first-round online test covers series the studio has adapted, including Naruto, Demon Slayer, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Dragon Ball, with an August 2 deadline. This is the second such training school the studio has opened.
Earlier in the anniversary year, on May 18, 2026, CyberConnect2 marked the 20th anniversary of .hack//G.U. with a new commemorative illustration by character designer Seiichiro Hosokawa featuring the Eight Phases. A multi-mat using the art went on sale for 3,850 yen, and a B1 panel display appeared at the CyberConnect2 Exhibition starting June 6, which also covered .hack//Z.E.R.O. The anniversary rollout keeps the .hack franchise visible as the studio prepares its next entry.
