CyberConnect2 is preparing its first Tokyo Game Show appearance, a 30th anniversary exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with no new title announcements planned. The studio continues to develop .hack//Z.E.R.O. as its first self-published entry in the .hack series, alongside two other C5 initiative titles.
CyberConnect2's 30th anniversary year has been framed around looking back. The studio opened a free exhibition in Tokyo on June 27-28, 2026, featuring a talk event with president Hiroshi Matsuyama, where he discussed the action RPG .hack//Z.E.R.O. and a new Little Tail Bronx installment. The exhibition then began a tour of all 47 prefectures. Earlier, on May 18, the studio marked the 20th anniversary of .hack//G.U. with a commemorative illustration by character designer Seiichiro Hosokawa and related merchandise, while noting that .hack//Z.E.R.O. was announced earlier this year for the studio's 30th anniversary.
The retrospective work extends to the studio's largest domestic event yet. CyberConnect2 will exhibit for the first time at Tokyo Game Show 2026, scheduled for September 17 to 21, staging its 30th anniversary CyberConnect2 Exhibition as an IN Chiba edition at its booth. No new title announcements are planned. The booth will display development materials and artwork, and 1,200 copies of the manga Chaser Game will be given away free.
Alongside the anniversary activity, the studio is rebuilding how it makes games. Vice-president Taichiro Miyazaki, speaking in an Anime Expo 2026 interview, described the move into self-publishing and identified .hack//Z.E.R.O. as the first self-published entry in the series, with the C5 initiative titles Cecile and Tokyo Ogre Gate also in progress. On June 23, the studio opened auditions for its Scenario Designer Training School 2026, seeking scenario designers for anime-licensed games with first-round online questions covering series it has adapted, including Naruto, Demon Slayer, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Dragon Ball. The deadline is August 2.
