If you take a look at the number of clicks on the individual trailers from the Xbox Games Showcase on YouTube, then there is a small surprise. Because neither the developer gameplay of Diablo IV nor the announcements of the Persona series in Game Pass have secured the crown. No, it’s Minecraft Legends that stands out from all the other trailers by a huge margin. A sign that the sandbox adventure is still a perennial favorite in the video game cosmos. After Minecraft Dungeons, Legends is another spin-off that wants to convince with a different genre. And you can find out for yourself what that is thanks to the trailer mentioned at the beginning:
Discover the mysteries of Minecraft Legends, the upcoming action-strategy game. Explore a familiar yet mysterious land teeming with diverse life, lush biomes, and rich resources. But this paradise is regarding to be destroyed. The Piglins have arrived – and they threaten to corrupt the overworld. Inspire unexpected friends to form valuable alliances and lead them in strategic battles to protect their homeland. Take the fight to the Piglins before their nether corruption engulfs the overworld!
Developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, Minecraft Legends will be released in 2023 for PC and Xbox. The title will also be available in Game Pass from day one.
