The puzzle adventure game COCOON, developed by Geometric Interactive and published by Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, is now available for purchase on those platforms as well as on Game Pass. Players navigate through a variety of locales by carrying orbs on their backs. You can see it in action by watching the launch trailer which can be seen below.
The gameplay of COCOON consists of players exploring a variety of landscapes and playing with technologies that were left behind by an ancient civilization. They will find orbs that not only contain little worlds of their own but also give special skills and may be utilized to solve a variety of puzzles by, for example, turning on switches or revealing previously concealed pathways. Fights against bosses made out of guardians are, of course, also present.
The fact that Jeppe Carlsen, the chief gameplay designer for Limbo and Inside, is collaborating with COCOON is perhaps the game’s most prominent claim to fame.
