Mojang is working on three new games

Mojang recently published their first third party game, Cobalt, and say that they have plans for three new releases, two of which could arrive in the first half of this year.

Mojang CEO Carl Manneh says that these new games will have a big impact on Mojang over the next year.“We have NDAs with companies,” he says. “We want to be very transparent about everything we do, but in this case we can’t.”

Scrolls isn't one of them. It includes something new from Notch aswel. 

While Notch’s next game still has a long way to go, the other two games will be revealed, and may even be released, in the first half of this year.

I'm certainly very excited to see Notch and the Mojang crew working on something different.

Mojang is maybe going to release 'Cobalt' on Friday

Mojang have told Edge that they’re hoping to publish their first third party game, Cobalt this Friday, if all goes to plan.

“We haven’t told anyone [about the release date] yet because we’re aiming for Friday, but we don’t know if we can make it,” Mojang managing director Carl Manneh said to Edge. “But I think we can.”

Cobalt is a quirky robot platformer from Oxeye Game Studio. Mojang and Oxeye are working together to give it some extra polish before Friday. Like Minecraft, it will be released as an alpha and then regularly updated until it’s done.
