CyberConnect2 25th anniversary visual, music video

CyberConnect2 has released its official 25th anniversary visual as it ends the milestone anniversary year that began on February 16, 2021.

The visual was produced by CyberConnect2 artist Higashi, who also worked on the visuals for the 20th anniversary of the .hack series and for the 15th anniversary of CyberConnect2. It features characters from Fuga: Melodies of Steel, Tail Concerto, Silent Bomber, .hack//, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, and Asura’s Wrath.

CyberConnect2 also released a new commemorative music video, “Connecting to Tomorrow” by LieN, who also worked on the theme songs and other music for the .hack// series, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, and Asura’s Wrath, among other titles. The music video features celebratory messages and illustrations from fans and others involved in the entertainment industry.

Finally, here is a message from CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama:

Our 25th anniversary came at a time of global hardship and restraint. It was an anniversary devoid of the ability for staff to hold celebrations together. However, we spent the year with the mindset that we should do what can be done, and not focus on what we cannot control. We received a torrent of celebratory messages and comments in celebration of this big milestone, our 25th anniversary, and we want to introduce these in the music video of our new celebratory song. All of us at CyberConnect2 have felt the love these past 25 years, and we will be working hard to bring you new content as we continue this journey. We thank everyone from the heart, and hope you look forward to what is to come.
