History
CyberConnect2 was first formed on February 16, 1996 as "CyberConnect" but on September 16, 2001, it was renamed "CyberConnect2".

Trilogy, and LieN to compose the music.
Current Project
CyberConnect2 is currently working on three projects for current generation consoles. The first is a photo-realistic role-playing game targeted at the international market and is built using Unreal Engine 4 involving physics-based rendering. The second is open world. The third involves virtual reality.[1]
