Roguelike TPS 'Spell Fragments' Selected for METI Startup Support Program IP360
Cocoro Software announced on July 24, 2026, that its roguelike third-person shooter 'Spell Fragments' has been selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's startup support program 'IP360'. The game was accepted into the 'Menu 1: IP New Creation Support (Startup Support: Sōfū)' division, which received 819 applications and accepted only 34, a selection rate of about 24 times. 'Spell Fragments' is a roguelike TPS where players equip spell fragments and combine elements to create custom magic, then assign those spells to keys or clicks to defeat enemies and clear dungeons. With the support, Cocoro Software plans to accelerate development for quality improvement, content expansion, and overseas expansion. The company also announced that the game will be exhibited at the iGi indie Game incubator / Sōfū booth (09-C67) at Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs from September 17 to September 21, 2026. The studio is currently recruiting level designers, illustrators, and UI designers to strengthen the development team. 'Spell Fragments' is scheduled for release on PC via Steam.
