Cobalt, a long-gestating multiplayer action platformer jointly developed by indie studio Oxeye and Minecraft creators Mojang, is set to drop on the Mac this October alongside the Xbox and PC.
First announced in 2011, Cobalt’s release date was revealed earlier Tuesday in advance of this week’s Gamescom trade show in Germany. Microsoft Studios will publish the game after acquiring collaborator Mojang for $2.5 billion last November.
In Cobalt, gamers can choose from one of six different multiplayer modes — including deathmatch, capture the flag, and team strike — each of which supports up to eight players, either locally or online. A more standard co-op mode is also available.
