RPG Maker U2U (also known as RPG Tsukuru U2U) is an upcoming PC entry in the RPG Maker series that introduces 3D expression for the first time on the PC platform, using a new P2D (Perspective 2D) technology to create HD-2D style visuals. Gotcha Gotcha Games announced the title on May 21, 2026, and a map editor demo was shown at BitSummit PUNCH.
Gotcha Gotcha Games announced RPG Maker U2U (domestically called RPG Tsukuru U2U) on May 21, 2026, marking the first PC entry in the long-running RPG Maker series to attempt 3D expression. The game introduces a new technology called P2D, or Perspective 2D, which enables 3D map creation without requiring specialized 3D production knowledge. Producer Hiroyuki Ichinose described P2D as the first 3D expression on the PC version of the series, designed to lower the barrier for beginners while allowing use of assets from previous titles RPG Maker MV and MZ without modification.
The game uses the Unity engine and features a fixed camera to ease creation. A map editor demo was shown at BitSummit PUNCH. The series returns to the Tsukuru name domestically while keeping the Maker name overseas. The P2D system bridges 2D asset compatibility with a depth-enhanced visual style inspired by HD-2D games, aiming to expand creative possibilities while preserving the series' accessibility for non-specialist users.

Gotcha Gotcha Games opened the Steam store page for RPG Maker U2U on August 27, 2026, and began accepting wishlist registrations. The store page carries product information, first-time screenshots of the event editor and database screens, and the P2D introduction video shown in the initial announcement. The company also released the title's key visual, a completely new illustration by Namaniku ATK, who handles character design and illustration for the game. In addition to the store page opening, the developer announced a change in development direction. RPG Maker U2U will now release as a standalone product rather than a tool that runs on Unity. This means users will not need to install Unity separately or create a Unity ID. The Steam version will launch directly from the Steam library, similar to RPG Maker MV and RPG Maker MZ. The event creation and database editing interface draws on the controls and workflow of those two previous titles, aiming for an intuitive environment for both newcomers and series veterans. A producer letter with further details is scheduled for the same day via Steam News and the official RPG Maker U2U X account.
