Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 10

Super Shark announced RPG-Cobo on June 5, 2026, as a 3D RPG development tool requiring no programming knowledge. A free beta test started the same day and will continue until early access launches in autumn. The tool features high-resolution voxel graphics, PBR rendering, global illumination, a voxel map editor, an event editor, database functions, and AI-powered translation. Completed games can export to Windows, web, iOS, and Android.

Five days later, on June 10, Super Shark clarified that RPG-Cobo is fully open-source and commercially usable. The announcement also named Yutaka Owada, a CyberStep founder, as the project lead. The earlier story did not mention open-source licensing or Owada's role; the later story added both details without contradicting the earlier feature set or beta timeline.

The two stories together establish RPG-Cobo as a no-code, open-source tool with modern rendering features, aimed at indie developers who want to build voxel-based RPGs. The beta is ongoing, and the early access window remains autumn 2026. No further updates have been published since the June 10 announcement.
