Mojang have announced that their upcoming game Cobalt has been delayed. Cobalt was originally scheduled to be released this month, but has now been pushed back until February 2016. The reason for the delay has been noted as still having some in-game bugs that needed to be fixed. Mojang released this statement…
“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. 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.”
