Establishment

edit

In 2015, Cygames announced the creation of its own anime production division to produce anime for their gaming IPs, along with original anime.[3] In 2016, Cygames announced the creation of its own anime studio, named CygamesPictures, with their anime production division merging with the studio.[1]

In 2026, CygamesPictures was consolidated as a subsidiary under Cygames' parent company CyberAgent through direct share acquisition, completed on February 27. The studio was renamed to Cypic on April 6, the day after the 10th anniversary of its founding.[4] Following this, the studio also launched its own music label named Cypic Records.[5]
