Microsoft and Mojang have announced Minecraft Legends as a day one release on Xbox Games Pass during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase.
This new game takes place in the Minecraft universe and will set the player on an “action strategy” adventure to unite the “overworld.” Villagers, Undead, beasts, and other enemies need to be conquered or charmed by the player in pursuit of a greater battle.
Against what? We’re not yet sure–perhaps the pigmen of the Nether. You can find the trailer below.
Discover the mysteries of Minecraft Legends, our upcoming action strategy game. Explore a familiar yet mysterious land, full of diverse life, lush biomes, and rich resources. But this paradise is on the brink of destruction. The piglins have arrived – and they’re threatening to corrupt the Overworld. Inspire unexpected friends to form valuable alliances and lead them in strategic battles to protect their home. Take the fight to the piglins before their Nether corruption devours the Overworld!
Developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, Minecraft Legends is coming in 2023 on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Windows, Steam, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
