LIMBO Creator Announces New Game Cocoon
Of the numerous influential titles that helped to bring independent game development studios to the forefront of the gaming community, LIMBO left a tremendous impact that in many ways helped level the playing field for indie developers. Since that time, LIMBO has remained prevalent in the hearts and minds of many of its players, but now longtime fans of LIMBO will have something new to look forward to.
While Playdead, the studio behind both LIMBO and Inside, has had an extremely intermittent release schedule, with Inside releasing six years after LIMBO, both games have garnered massive amounts of success and attention. In the years since Inside's release, there has been little to no news regarding Playdead's next project, though a new game made by the lead gameplay designer of both LIMBO and Inside was announced earlier today.
Xbox Game Pass Subscribers Should Play Limbo While They Still Can
During the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, a new game being developed by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of both LIMBO and Inside, was announced via gameplay trailer. Called Cocoon, the trailer itself is less than two minutes long and details quite a bit of content in terms of setting, gameplay, and level design.
Based on what's seen in this trailer, what stands out the most about Cocoon is how divergent it is from previous games Carlsen developed. Compared to both LIMBO and Inside, the tone of Cocoon seems much brighter and happier. Not to mention the various changes in game design, such as the change from a 2D side-scrolling perspective to a top-down 2D perspective. In addition, the gameplay also includes seemingly more complex puzzles for the player to solve.
It was also confirmed that Cocoon will be published by Annapurna
