Molyneux's Curiosity Has Official Release Date In November

Posted on Wednesday, October 31 @ 09:51:28 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Peter Molyneux's Curiosity finally has an official release date. After getting pushed back from an original August launch plan, 22 Cans—Molyneux's start-up developer—will release Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube on November 7th.

Molyneux told VG247 that "It was a real struggle getting it though Apple, mainly due to its uniqueness, but we are there." He thanked everyone for "remaining curious."

Curiosity is literally about players chipping away at a cube to find out what's inside. Apparently it's "valuable and so life-changingly important." Up to a million players can chip away at the cube at once, and players can buy different pickaxes if the included pickaxe isn't doing a good enough job.

I have to admit that I'm curious what could be in this cube, especially since Molyneux has said he will offer a pickaxe that costs $50,000, but I'm not sure if I'm curious enough to play it. Shall we start a betting pool on how quickly someone breaks it open?

    My guess is that the box is empty, just like all of his other current ideas. I'd rather make a micro-transaction of my own at home depot, get a REAL pick-axe and help chip away at the rest of Peter Molyneux's career.

    I also think it will be empty, and the super valuable thing will be a the lesson of "don't believe everything you're told" or some such crap

    That, or it'll be a picture of Molyneux giving the world the middle finger.

    Update: Just wikipedia'd (definitely a word) Curiosity and now I feel more confused than before. So you click on cubes and you go through layers of more cubes? Sweet, I think I might get down on some Mine Sweeper in prep for this to come out...

    Is this for iOS? Or Mac? If it's for iOS then it's gonna get hacked (no pun intended) pretty quickly, for Mac, not as quick.

    So, you're task is to keep trying to open this mysterious cubes made up other cubes? I have two things to say about this.

    1. There's going to be a Xzbit meme: "Yo Dawg, I heard you like mysteries. So, I put sumthin in a cube and put that in 60 million cubes LOL"
    2. Screw this, I'll just use Detective Mode.

    I'm having the idea of it being something like lottery, where one of the cubes (or several) holds a prize that you get when you break it, probably a big cash prize, that would be "life-changingly amazing". And the whole thing about the different priced pickaxes would mean you get faster and have more chances of discovering the reward.

    Too crazy?
