CyberConnect2 was first formed on February 16, 1996, as CyberConnect in Fukuoka, Japan. On September 16, 2001, it was renamed CyberConnect2. On October 3, 2007, CyberConnect2 changed its logo and expanded its production beyond games, beginning with the formation of Sensible Art Innovation to create the.hack//G.U. Trilogy, and LieN to compose the music.
CyberConnect2 opened a second studio in Tokyo in 2010, and later opened its first international studio in Montreal, Canada in 2016. However, it was announced the Montreal studio would close its doors by the end of July 2023. In July 2023, it was announced that a third studio in Osaka will open in early 2024.
CyberConnect2 was tasked with developing the Final Fantasy VII Remake, described in CyberConnect2's March 2015 Famitsu job advertisement as a photo-realistic role-playing game targeted at the international market built on the Unreal Engine 4 involving physically based rendering. In May 2017, it was announced that they had left the project due to unreasonable management from above, and Square Enix moved the remaining development of Final Fantasy VII Remake in-house.
