M2 is a studio that was developing the shooting game UBUSUNA with creator Hiroshi Iuchi. Iuchi left M2, and the project was reported canceled in May 2026. As of July 2026, UBUSUNA is moving toward resuming production with outside investment, but M2 is not involved and its resources cannot be used.
M2, the studio behind the shooting game UBUSUNA, saw the project publicly canceled in May 2026 after creator Hiroshi Iuchi left the company. The cancellation was reported shortly after Iuchi's departure, leaving the game's future uncertain. However, on July 8, Iuchi announced that UBUSUNA is moving toward resuming production with investment from another company. Designer Kusasa Wa proposed the outside investment, and discussions had already begun before the public cancellation.
Iuchi holds the rights to the concept and system specifications, meaning resources created at M2 cannot be used in the revived project. This separation of intellectual property rights allowed the project to continue independently after Iuchi's departure from M2. The revival highlights how creator-owned rights can keep a project alive even after a studio split, though M2 itself is no longer part of the development.
