About

CyberFront is recognized for its role in bringing international titles to the Japanese market, including publishing the Japanese releases of the DJ Max Portable series such as DJ Max Portable [Prestige Package] and DJ Max Portable: Black Square. The company also handled the Japanese localization and release of Firaxis Games' strategy title Civilization Revolution. Additionally, CyberFront developed and published original regional titles such as the puzzle game Kollon and the tactical RPG Mist of Chaos.
Established in 1998, the company operated as a subsidiary of Kaga Electronics, carving out a niche by bridging regional gaps in the console gaming landscape. Through its strategic partnerships, the publisher expanded the reach of the DJ Max Portable rhythm franchise beyond South Korea, catering to a dedicated PlayStation Portable import demographic. For the Civilization Revolution franchise, the studio adapted Firaxis Games' complex turn-based strategy mechanics for Japanese home consoles and handhelds, ensuring the interface and text met local player expectations.
The company's portfolio also extended to the Epic Mickey franchise, where it managed the Japanese distribution of the platformer Disney Epic Mickey on the Wii, adapting its narrative and gameplay for domestic audiences. In the realm of original software, the development of Kollon showcased the studio's capability in the arcade puzzle genre, while Mist of Chaos represented an ambitious venture into high-definition tactical role-playing on the PlayStation 3. Following years of niche localization and publishing efforts, the company was dissolved in late 2013, leaving a legacy defined by these distinct international and regional properties.
