Puzzle games are experiencing a resurgence this year with standout titles like the extraordinary Humanity and the challenging Viewfinder capturing players’ attention. Now, Cocoon, a new entrant, has appeared on the release schedule, having made quite a splash during its debut at Summer Game Fest earlier this month. Publisher Annapurna Interactive disclosed during its summer presentation that Cocoon will be available on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam starting from September 29th. Additionally, it’ll also be included in the Game Pass offerings.
This game marks the inaugural project by Geometric Interactive, a studio established by two ex-developers from Playdead, the creators of acclaimed games like Limbo and Inside. Cocoon is a unique adventure game where you manipulate orbs to crack puzzles. On placing an orb onto a socket, you can then leap inside it—each orb representing its own realm with unique mechanics and a boss to defeat.
The gameplay in Cocoon revolves around the concept of recursion. You can carry an orb into another world, leveraging its capabilities, such as unveiling unseen paths or triggering switches. The game also allows you to hop out of an orb, an essential strategy for solving certain puzzles and circumventing barriers. We eagerly anticipate this one.
