Mojang releases Minecraft, reveals more information about Scrolls and Cobalt

After two years and four million copies later, Mojang announced the official🐻 release of Minecraft on PC today at MineCon 2011 in Las Vegas. The wildly p🌃opular sandbox game that has players punching trees and building has become a global phenomenon, thanks to platforms like Youtube where players can share their creative and creations.

At MineCon 2011, the first convention held in honor of Minecraft, Mojang gave a demo of their upcoming game with the controversial title, Scrolls. Not 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls, just Scrolls. It&rsquꦑo;s a turn-based strategy game, akin to card games like Magic: The Gathering, where players have a deck to draw from and they use their arsenal of scrolls to summon units to fight. The battlefield is like a chessboard, except with hexagons and the first person to take out three of the𓆉 five idols of their opponent wins.

Mojang also talked about Colbalt, their first third-party published game by Oxeye. Colbalt is a wacky action platformer starring a r🍸obot with a human brain called Metalface. According to the developer, Cobalt is inspired by games like Fallout and movies such as Blade Runner, with a mix of some MacGyver and Night Rider.

In a short demo, theℱ developer showed off the fast-moving Metalface as it mercilessly gunned down some birds and drop kicked grenades like hacky sacks in slow-mo. The demo never moved beyond the beginning of the level, but from that quick, explosive-fueled excerpt, it’s a game to keep an eye on for sure.

Scrolls will be availabꦍle for pre-order with alpha access for Colbalt by the end of the year.
