Cygames

Japan Founded 2011 Website

"Formed as a Cyber Agent group company in May, 2011, Cygames always strives to provide the best in entertainment. Our first title, Shingeki no Bahamut, revolutionized mobile card games when it was released in September 2011. Its English release, Rage of Bahamut, did just as well, keeping a steady position at the top of Android charts for months. Our next ground-breaking adventure, Granblue Fantasy pushed the limits of what games were capable of with a Triple-A worthy story and a full-voice cast. In order to create the best content and continue the legacy we have begun, we put games first."
