Cobalt is an action game of running, jumping, rolling, shooting, throwing, dancing, hacking, rolling, flying, sliding, climbing, looting, deflecting, racing, pi?ata-ing, passing, scoring… and even more rolling! Play cooperatively with friends or defeat your enemies in a death match, loot match, race match, or Capture the Plug matches. (Or one of the other game modes, of course!)

The game is initially developed for PC platforms Windows, Mac and Linux. The Windows version will be released first.

The game’s map editor will be included with the release, and will be easy to share and find other player’s maps. Additionally the game is written mainly in Lua (a script language), which allows for easy modding.

We’re aiming to release Cobalt ‘this fall’.

The game started out a heavily story driven campaign game, lacking multiplayer what so ever. During this last half year or so, we have changed direction and are now focusing on multiplayer, including cooperative play. So I guess you could claim there is no dedicated single-player campaign planned now. But we are including the map editor in the game and the game supports campaignish content. So this we hope is something we could develop together with our hopefully future community.

RPS: What happened to all those single-player ideas?

Daniel Brynolf: They live on in the cooperative side of things
