Cocos Creator is an open-source and customizable 2D/3D game engine with a free editor that helps developers build their games with node-component structure using TypeScript, a popular tool for building Javascript applications.

Cocos has had great success with PC and mobile games with its 2D game engine. Now it is taking the open-source software to the third dimension with Cocos Creator 3.0.

Cocos is including its first all-in-one 3D engine and editor with the new release of the Cocos game engine, which traces its roots back a decade to Cocos2d-x. Cocos has been used by more than 1.4 million developers to date, and over 100,000 games in the app stores use it. Cocos has tried to build 3D tools before, but it was like adding something onto a skyscraper.

Cocos Creator is an open-source and customizable 2D/3D game engine with a free editor that helps developers build their games with node-component structure using TypeScript, a popular tool for building Javascript applications.

Apart from publishing games to the traditional platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS X, Cocos Creator also enables game developers to build their games and apps for more than 20 different platforms, including HTML5, TikTok, and WeChat. Folks can make games for instant gaming platforms from major phone companies, including OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Samsung.

Luke Stapley, an overseas marketing director for the company, said in an email to GamesBeat that the foray into 3D is a big step for the company, as its past efforts have focused on 2D games.

Cocos is the custodian of Cocos2d-x, the largest open-source game engine, which devs primarily use to make mobile games. It competes with Unity Technologies Unity 3D engine, which has had a focus on 2D and 3D since its origins. With the addition of 3D, Cocos will also compete with Epic Games Unreal Engine at the high end of game development, not to mention game companies that use in-house engines. In the 3D for HTML5 space, PlayCanvas is a competitor.

Now Cocos is sharing this update with millions of game and app developers all over the world so they can use 3D. Developers can download this update here using the Cocos Dashboard.

“We have had many developers asking for 3D, and with how the game industry has been moving towards 3D in mobile games, we have to help more developers,” Stapley said. “We’ve always been a mobile and HTML5 based company, so we need to assist both our Chinese and international developers. We already have had a few games by Tencent be released with our initial version, ‘Cocos Creator 3D’ that was only based in China. Their support and interest have helped push us to move forward with the change.”
