Mojang studios, the small developer that exploded into the public eye with its captivating Minecraft, has announced Cobalt, the first game it's developing through a third-party. The just released action trailer shows off the running, shooting, rolling, tossing, hacking, slow-motioning, exploding and other activities the game's very square looking characters can accomplish. And it doesn't look a thing like Minecraft.
As a collaboration between the newly founded company Oxeye Game Studio and Mojang, Cobalt has a lot of new and exciting talent behind it. Oxeye was founded by Daniel Brynolf, Pontus Hammarberg and Mojang%26rsquo;s very own Jens Bergensten %26mdash; the trio has been sharing office space with Mojang, a company that doesn't need much introduction beyond that it sold3 millioncopies of Minecraft.
If you want to get your hands on the game, Cobalt will be on display and playable at the upcoming PAX Prime event. The developers have put out an open invitation for challengers in 2-on-2 Capture the Plug matches. If you manage to beat thewreck (Daniel Brynolf) and jeb (Jens Bergensten), you'll be rewarded with swag, alpha game codes, and your name will appear in the %26ldquo;Honorable Mentions%26rdquo; section of the game's credits.
The finished version of the game is expected %26ldquo;this fall%26rdquo; according to the Cobalt site. We have no idea why they put quotes around %26ldquo;this fall.%26rdquo;
