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.
