Xbox has a history of showing off some of our favorite indies during its big showcases, and it looks like it's keeping that tradition alive and well. During the platform's Summer Game Fest event today, we got our first look at a new project from Limbo and Inside lead designer Jeppe Carlsen.

Cocoon, published by Annapurna Interactive, which has a showcase of its own next month, promises to be a mind-bending experience with an undeniably compelling art style. The creators promise to take players «on an adventure across worlds within worlds,» which are represented by a series of unusual glowing orbs in the trailer. The clip begins with a sweeping and stylized view of a desert landscape which is soon disturbed by a blinding beam of white light. Our hero pops out of a mechanical-looking cacoon energized by the laser and appears to be a kind of beetle. We mostly see it grabbing and distributing globes of various colors, which may allow it to jump to different locations. There's not a lot of detail to glean from this reveal trailer, but it looks intriguing. 

Cocoon is set to release on Xbox consoles via Game Pass some time in 2023. The trailer's description indicates fans should get ready to «Master world-leaping mechanics to unravel a cosmic mystery.»
