Cobalt, the side-scrolling action platformer which stars a robot who loves a bit of slow-motion shooting, will miss its October 30 release date, Mojang and developer Oxeye Games have announced.
Still coming to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Steam, Cobalt is now pencilled in for February 2016.
“We’ve been working on Cobalt for a long time and, though the game is feature complete, our current build is buggier than we’re comfortable with,” explained a Mojang blog post. “We want every part of Cobalt – the campaign, challenges, and local and online multiplayer to live up to your expectations, no matter which platform you play it on. That’s going to require a bit more development time.
“In honesty, we don’t need four months to fix the outstanding issues, but releasing a game on console is an especially complicated business. There are release windows, and certification things, and all kinds of boxes that need to be ticked before games can be released into the wild.”
