There’s no shortage of talent in the video game industry. Veterans have been making and creating stories for years, bringing experiences like Limbo and Inside to life. The lead gameplay designer, Jeppe Carlsen, for both of those critically acclaimed titles teased Cocoon, a new puzzle game, during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022.
The trailer showed off what players can expect from Carlsen’s new studio, Geometric Interactive. Although brief, the gameplay trailer showed off a surprising amount of depth to it. Not only does it look like players will unlock new areas in this 3D world, but they will discover new worlds with each puzzle solved.
It also looks like Cocoon is much more than just solving puzzles and marching on to the next one. In the game, the different orbs seen in the trailer carry different abilities with them. Unlocking them reveals new tools for you to use and discover new pathways, hidden objects, or fire off projectiles to reveal a new path. Those tools must also be harnessed to face boss battles against the world’s “guardians.”
Cocoon is being developed by Geometric Interactive and will be published by Annapurna Interactive and will arrive in 2023. Surprisingly, the game is now available to wishlist on Steam.
