Arc System Works has released a first batch of information regarding its upcoming sandbox RPG, Cube Creator X.
Building (ahem) on 2015's Cube Creator 3D, this sequel of sorts promises to be much bigger this time around; it contains more than three-times the amount of cube types as the previous game, and concepts such as size, weight, heat, and weather have been added, too.
There is an 'Adventure Mode', allowing players to experience numerous gameplay elements such as daily life, exploration, growth, and communication; a 'Creative Mode,' in which you can build your own, entirely original worlds; and a 'Stage Builder Mode', which allows you to use gimmick cubes with mechanisms to create your own original stages. You can see a (silent) trailer for the game below.
Cube Creator X is currently scheduled to release on 26th April in Japan; no western release has been confirmed as of yet but, with the success of Cube Creator 3D, we're hopeful that we'll be seeing the game over here soon enough.
Were you a fan of Cube Creator 3D on 3DS? Are you looking forward to a new entry in the series? Let us know your thoughts below.

Well... Minecraft still seems like a better choice.
That looks really cute TBH
STOP COPYING EACH OTHER AND GET ON WITH CREATING ORIGINAL GAMES!
@Bunkerneath yea ... what??? you do realize that almost all games are copies of other games right? Because finding something original is not something you do on a whim and it costs A LOT of money.
@Banemus @Bunkerneath Yes, building off of previous games and doing new things with them is the norm and some of the best games in history are standing on the shoulders or previous games. Also, yes, this is derivative to a fault, in my opinion. It really looks like it started as a 100% Minecraft clone and then a few choice features were added. I don’t know much about it, though, maybe there’s something more to it.
Ah...
I enjoy Portal Knights for Switch.
The True 3D Minecraft like games.
@Bunkerneath
Psst...
Have ever played Portal Knights ?
Well I’m happy for other people, but I can’t spend my money on this when there are so many better games I want to buy.
It doesn't look "bad" but I'd still rather play Minecraft and I never want to play Minecraft anymore.
There is nothing specifically that blew me away about Cube Creator. Being a fan of Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builder and (to a degree) Portal Knights I must say this really needs to bring something unique to the table. I do not have a problem with Minecraft clones but just add something to it that makes it unique enough for someone like me to want to buy it.
Oh so this is why they totally abandoned Cube Creator 3D.
Anyway it looks very cute, and like its own thing separate from Minecraft. The cows alone are adorable.
I’ll get Dragon Quest Builders if I want one of these cube building games.
Well, I refuse to buy MC again, and this looks cute and fun. Really liked the underwater stuff, and the sound of adventure mode. I'll grab it if it comes here. Portal Knights is great, but doesn't scratch my building itch.
That actually looks really cute. Oh wait, that's what everyone's saying...
Uh, good luck making a better game than Minecraft I guess?
Qube World needs to get finished, then brought to the switch.
Well, they added the Paraglider from Breath of the Wild, i'm sold.
My kid was a fan of Cube Creator 3D. So much so that he convinced his friend to buy it so they could play multiplayer when the 1.2 update was supposed to arrive two summers ago.
I’d be much more interested to know when and if that update is still coming out.
Kids with non New 2ds still can’t play real Minecraft on them and Cube Creator still seems to be the best alternative in that situation. I’d even go so far as to say they could still get some decent sales releasing the multiplayer along with a physical release for $19.99. Or Even as a 2ds bundle.
Looks like a bad version of Dragon Quest Builders
If this was released before the actual Minecraft, I think it would've done OK, but now since Minecraft has already launched, it's dead on arrival
@eSocrates the update has apparently been stuck in lot check for about four months or so.
If Nintendo doesn't want to approve it, there's not much they can do.
Okay with something like Wargroove, they are emulating a game that many people miss and hasn't had a new release in many years. (Advance Wars)
This game is ripping off, blatantly ripping off, a game that is already on the same system!
