Dominate in local or online multiplayer campaigns, or co-op your way through Cobalt’s platform game mode as a cyborg who is sent to uncover the mysterious disappearance of a human colony on an alien planet. Cobalt features six different multiplayer modes including death match, capture the flag and team strike for up to eight local and eight online players, as well as a co-op story mode.

With over 30 multiplayer maps, three dozen types of weapons, customizable robot avatars and unique gameplay elements such as auto-slow-motion, rolling and ride-able mobs, Cobalt offers endless discovery and entertainment.

Hi everyone,

You’re probably already familiar with Cobalt – a game published by Mojang and developed by Oxeye Game Studio. Watch the trailer below, if you like.

Unfortunately, despite what that trailer says, we’re not going to hit our planned release date of October 30th. Cobalt has been delayed until February, 2016.

We’ve been working on Cobalt for a long time and, though the game is feature complete, our current build is buggier than we’re comfortable with. We want every part of Cobalt – the campaign, challenges, and local and online multiplayer to live up to your expectations, no matter which platform you play it on. That’s going to require a bit more development time.

In honesty, we don’t need four months to fix the outstanding issues, but releasing a game on console is an especially complicated business. There are release windows, and certification things, and all kinds of boxes that need to be ticked before games can be released into the wild.

So yes, amend your calendars – February 2016! Cobalt’s new release date! It’s going to be a blast!

Thanks for your patience,
Mojang and Oxeye Games

Features:

• Slow-motion. When bullets or missiles are near, your character and nearby threats automatically go into slow motion, giving you time to execute expert moves – it’s like having super-fast reflexes!
• Rolling. Cobalt’s signature move, rolling enables players to take out aerial targets or deflect bullets (even targeting them back at the shooter).
• Gameplay, weapon and map variety. With more than three dozen different weapons, 30+ multiplayer maps, six different multiplayer modes and both local and online play, Cobalt has something (or multiple things) for everyone.
• Game Modes:
  • Challenge. Time is the ultimate test in challenge mode, but speed, agility and a knack for puzzles are the keys to success.
  • Deathmatch. Go head-to-head with other players in a free-for-all or team battle.
  • Team Strike. The last team standing wins the fight, but careful – there are no respawns.
  • Capture the Plug. Capture the flag – robot edition.
  • Survival. Put your endurance and strategic mindset to the test by facing endless waves of enemies in solo or co-op mode.
  • Story Mode. Solve puzzles, fight bosses, shoot, jump, roll, ride space hamsters, etc.
