4J Studios has revealed an image of two giants horse statues in Minecraft, possibly suggesting they'll be added sooner than expected.
It could be the case that horses are being readied for inclusion in the game on the same day as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft are released in August.
The statues in question were inspired by Andrew Scott's The Kelpies and 4J posted the image on their Twitter account:
