Minecraft Legends has just been announced at the Xbox and Bethesda not-E3 showcase. Rumours have been circulating about a new Minecraft spin-off and now we know it’s an action strategy game coming in 2023. And it looks in equal parts adorable and pretty badass actually.
The story the CG trailer weaves is that you’re uniting the land to face off against an evil force. Though not verbalised it certainly looks like that means you will be making an army of mobs to fight against The Nether. Classic Minecraft stuff with a whole new look. Of course the staple blocky visuals are intact but you’ll be playing from a wide third person perspective to get a lay of the land.
And unlike the original Minecraft, there seems to be some autobuilding for ease so you can go back to destroying your enemies. Riding across the world on horseback you’ll have the ability to summon some beings for backup, fight hordes of baddies, and take on massive fortresses with your army. It’s pretty action packed for a game that looks very pretty.
The trailer shows that the tagline is “Untie the Overworld” so I imagine as you play you become more powerful and take on more influence over larger and larger mobs. Minecraft Legends is due sometime in 2023, and will be available, of course, on Xbox Game Pass, Consoles, PC, and Cloud.
