Cobalt, the side scrolling action platformer from developer Oxeye Games and publisher Mojang has been delayed from its original 30 October launch date.
The game was originally announced in 2013, has been now shifted to February 2016 and the main reason the publisher has said on its blogpost is that the game is currently buggier than they would like.
“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,” the studio explained.
“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.”
Cobalt, a 2D action game starring cyborgs is a side scrolling game. The game supports co-op play where one to two players can shoot their way through the adventure together using a range of weapons and power-ups. It also supports competitive multiplayer for up to eight combatants in several modes. Other major features include a survival mode, weapon upgrades and a level editor on PC and Mac.
This is the third game from now Microsoft owned Mojang after Minecraft which released Scrolls, a strategy game and Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic adventure which it recently released in collaboration with Telltale Games.
