This week has been chock full of big announcements in the video game industry with not one, not two, but four gaming conventions held over the past few days. Another noteworthy announcement is a new Minecraft multiplayer action strategy game titled Minecraft Legends, from Mojang Studios and Homeworld’s Blackbird Interactive.

“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!”

The game will feature options for both campaign co-op and competitive multiplayer modes which the team will be sharing more information on later this year. It’s slated to arrive on PC, consoles, and Nintendo Switch in 2023 and will be available on Xbox and Microsoft Game Pass from day one.
