Cocoon is an insectoid puzzle adventure which is currently being created by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of Playdead’s Inside and Limbo. This game's publisher is Annapurna Interactive, and it will naturally be available on Game Pass from the start. The game promises to be a mentally challenging experience with unquestionably captivating visuals. The developers promise to take players "on an adventure across worlds within worlds," which are represented by a number of peculiar glowing orbs in the trailer.

Cocoon Plot

Cocoon is a sci-fi puzzle adventure that was created by Geometric Interactive and released by Annapurna Interactive. Apart from the brief example of gameplay shown in the trailers, not much is known about Cocoon as of yet. The developers promise to take players "on an adventure across worlds within worlds," which can be seen by a number of peculiar glowing orbs in the trailer.

The opening of the clip features a broad, stylized view of a desert landscape, which is shortly interrupted by a blinding white light. The laser-powered cocoon that housed our hero emerges from it looking mechanical and resembling a type of beetle.

Every world a gamer discovers in Cocoon, with its diverse biomes ranging from industrial structures to organic caves, is an orb that they can also carry on their back as they explore a multiverse. Players can move through the game's challenging puzzles by exploring those worlds and fusing them in different ways.

As is evident via the announcement trailer, Cocoon will revolve around a winged creature, charged with gathering orbs that contain worlds. When traveling between orbs, these worlds' various abilities can be used. With persistent hints of an ancient alien race, the various orb worlds have the potential to support a wide variety of different biomes and creatures.

With sci-fi themes, this top-down puzzle game offers a welcome diversion from Limbo's gloomy visual style.
