Establishment
[edit]In 2015, Cygames announced the creation of its own anime production division to produce anime for their gaming IP but also anime originals.[3] A year later in 2016, Cygames announced the creation of its own anime studio called CygamesPictures to create and animate their own anime, at the same time that its anime production division now is part of the studio itself.[1]
On February 6, 2026, it was announced that CygamesPictures will be renamed to CyPic and consolidated as a subsidiary under CyberAgent through direct share acquisition on April 6, the day after the 10th anniversary of the studio's founding.[4]
