Cobalt goes to Xbox One, Xbox 360

At the Gamescom event, Mojang has announces its first third-party-published game Cobalt, which will be heading to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Cobalt brings you cyborgs, weapons, and maneuvers, where you will be executing moves like combat rolls, rocket punches, and wall jumps.

According to Mojang's official newswire, the game will be ported to the console by FatShark AB, as it is currently only available for the PC and Mac.

"Since we started developing Cobalt, it's been obvious that the game would feel right at home on a console," said Pontus Hammarberg, one of the developers of the game. "We're working on a hefty single player campaign, but there's nothing quite like experiencing the slow motion ballet of violence that is Cobalt with friends."
