Minecraft Xbox One & PS4: 4J Studios Teases Horses & Render Distance

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:

As 4J mentions, the new versions of the game will feature a much improved render distance over last-gen consoles. 

We've also seen the first image of a saves from the Xbox 360 version of the game being imported to the Xbox One Edition.
