Minecraft launches into action and strategy with the release of Minecraft Legends, a very enigmatic new title which could well meet an astonishing success. We tell you all about it.
[Updated April 04, 2023 3:48 PM] After the Developer Direct from Xbox and Bethesda last January, some questions around the release of Minecraft Legends remained unresolved. This new production from Mojang studios intends to overturn the famous cubic game to offer a completely different experience, centered on narrative and strategy. Something to question the many fans of the Minecraft universe who closely follow this release scheduled for mid-April. We answer your questions in this article.
The release date of Minecraft Legends has been set for April 18, 2023. A spring arrival that has something to appeal to the extremely large fanbase of the famous cubic game. The game will be released on all available gaming consoles, whether it’s the next-gen PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, or the old guard represented by the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Players will be able to experience its story-driven campaign and its intense player versus player mode, where two teams of four players face off in a merciless fight to destroy their respective bases.
Minecraft Legends may seem quite confused in its intentions where Minecraft Dungeons takes the form of an action and adventure game, Legends intends to offer a new approach to the universe of the cubic world. In Minecraft Legends, you will be immersed in the past, during the Nether Pigmen invasion. Your role will be to gather the forces of the world above, skeletons and creepers included, in order to resist the onslaught of the armies of the underworld. The storyline, incidentally, presents itself as a long-forgotten legend of the Minecraft universe. You can enjoy its single-player or co-op campaign for up to four players, and a PvP mode pitting two teams of four against each other in a race to destroy bases. The game will be in 3rd person and incorporates action and strategy elements. In short, a one-of-a-kind release.
The good news is that no gamer is going to feel aggrieved by the release of Minecraft Legends. The game, although from Xbox studios, will be released on all available gaming platforms. It will naturally be found on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC (Steam) and in the Xbox Game Pass, but also on the two Playstation consoles, the PS5 and the PS4. Nintendo players will not be left out since the game will also be released on the hybrid console. For now, Mojang and Xbox have not mentioned different release dates between platforms, which unilaterally sets it for April 18.
Minecraft Legends will imitate its elder and join the Xbox Game Pass offer from the day of its release. A good way for the Microsoft brand to ensure new subscribers, and a certain form of exclusivity when we know that the game will also be available on Playstation 5 and Playstation 4. Both PC players and Xbox players can take advantage of this entry into the catalog provided that they are subscribers to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
