Yoshiro Kimura’s new sandbox RPG will be out in 2023, might be about “children”
Yoshiro Kimura and his studio, Onion Games, are known for being off-beat. They make games that go in hard on their own strange internal worlds, wrapping up a particular sense of passion and energy in earnestly oddball humour. Undertale makes for a handy comparison – which makes sense, because many of the team worked on Moon, one of the games that inspired it.
I’m telling you all this because it might pique your interest in their upcoming sandbox RPG, which we now know will be out at some point next year.

PUBG creator is building a planet-sized sandbox game
Since early this year, we’ve known that PUBG creator Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene has been working on something big – he’s shown off a tech demo that produced 64x64km squares of runtime generated terrain, and said that it’s a ‘proof of concept’ for a sandbox game on the planetary scale. In a new interview, Greene and his collaborator David Polfeldt, the former managing director of Ubisoft Massive, shed more light on the project and what Greene hopes to accomplish. It sounds a lot like a metaverse, but without the usual corporate buzzwords and brands attached.
Greene and Polfeldt are the subjects of former Edge Magazine editor Nathan Brown’s latest Hit Points newsletter on Substack, and the entire article is worth a read. Greene’s project, it seems, got off to a rocky start, and he takes the blame for that – he didn’t have experience managing large teams of developers, and this resulted in some inopportune hires of people who weren’t right for the project.
