![]() Only time will tell if Minecraft Legends will be able to join Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons among the best Xbox games, or if it will fall by the wayside and leave the Minecraft universe feeling a bit smaller than before.It’s actually happening. Minecraft Legends will also be released on Xbox and PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Minecraft Legends is scheduled for release sometime in 2023 and has been confirmed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC platforms. Between the two of them, I have faith that the partnership can produce amazing results, as long as the duo is able to navigate the myriad of challenges and obstacles that stand in their way. interactive blackbird knows how to make strategy games and Mojang Studios knows Minecraft. I look forward to seeing more of this intriguing game, and I will surely be among the first in line to play it. I find myself holding back my intractable enthusiasm for Minecraft Legends, despite the undeniable success of Minecraft Dungeons, because I recognize the monumental challenges that both Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive face in executing their vision of an incredible action-strategy game set in the Minecraft universe. Mojang Studios’ latest title should deliver a wonderful experience in both genres it falls under, while staying true to the Minecraft franchise and the philosophies that have helped make the studio successful. Minecraft Legends can’t feel like a generic action-strategy game hastily wrapped up in a Minecraft skin. It also has to be a great Minecraft game. Minecraft Legends doesn’t just have to be a great third-person action and real-time strategy game. We don’t know much about Minecraft Legends at this point, just that it will be a drastic departure from Minecraft, and even Minecraft Dungeons, and thus presents completely different challenges. I’m not even questioning how Minecraft Legends can evolve after its release, how it can seek additional monetization through DLC or in-game purchases, how it will support different platforms, or whether it will just be “fun” to play. Minecraft Legends can’t feel like a generic game wrapped in a Minecraft skin. Will the world feel like a perfect addition to the growing Minecraft universe? Will it feel meaningful and rewarding to explore, and will players be motivated to interact with it? Will creativity be allowed to flourish in Minecraft Legends? Will gameplay and combat feel fluid and carefully considered? Will co-op feel like a natural extension of the core experience? Will the mysterious “competitive multiplayer” game mode be accessible to all the diverse players in the Minecraft community? Mojang Studios will need to learn from both projects to deliver a Minecraft Legends that feels complete, expertly blends its vision with its gameplay, and doesn’t bog down with questionable and baffling game design decisions. On the other hand, Minecraft Earth, which was also developed in conjunction with Blackbird Interactive, failed to succeed after months of post-launch support due to a series of issues and was consequently permanently shut down nearly a year ago. Players will explore the world, protect villages, build outposts, fight piglin enemies, and unite every mobs in the Overworld, including zombies, skeletons, creepers, and more variants that we know next to nothing about. Minecraft Legends combines third-person action with real-time strategy.įrom what little we understand of the upcoming title, Minecraft Legends tells the story of an unnamed hero tasked with uniting all the mobs of the Overworld and leading them into battle against an invasive and corrupt army of Nether piglins. Minecraft Legends is specifically an “action strategy” game, a combination of third-person action gameplay and real-time strategy mechanics. The company is working on multiple projects right now, including another anticipated strategy title in Homeworld 3. To bring Minecraft Legends to life, Mojang Studios has partnered with Blackbird Interactive, an independent studio well versed in creating strategy games. There is not an abundance of information to satiate my curiosity, which leads to more mysteries than answers. The brief announcement trailer begins with a cinematic intro showing the story of Minecraft Legends, with a few brief moments of tantalizing gameplay hidden towards the end of the video. Minecraft Legends was just announced during Microsoft’s main Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 event.
