Windows Central previews Minecraft Legends Minecraft Legends poses new challenges for Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive to overcome, but I'm excited to see what they'll accomplish. There are still plenty of mysteries surrounding this Minecraft spin-off title, and much we don't know. Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive plan to build a plethora of options and settings for players to use to customize their experience, and the studios believe that Minecraft Legends' unique action-strategy blend improves the approachability of the strategy genre. Events may or may not have actually happened as they unfold in the game, as legends tend to embellish and change over time.īuilt on the same Bedrock Engine that powers Minecraft across every platform besides the legacy PC version, Minecraft Legends focuses on approachability and accessibility.

This means it is a culmination of facts and myths, and it's up to players to decide the path the story takes - and how much of it rings true for the Minecraft universe. We know that the moniker 'Legends' is no mistake, as the idea behind this game's narrative is that it interprets an actual legend from Minecraft's Overworld. Minecraft Legends will differ from its Minecraft siblings dramatically when it comes to both gameplay and story, although it aims to remain true to Mojang Studios' philosophies and the nature of Minecraft as a franchise.

Known as Foresight, Action, and Knowledge, The Hosts represent all the characteristics players will need to employ to save the Overworld from certain destruction. Players will take control of a nameless hero to unite the Overworld and guide their forces in the raging war against the encroaching Nether corruption, aided by a collection of powerful tools and the guiding hands of Minecraft's first fully voiced mobs, The Hosts. Minecraft Legends tells the unlikely story of all the mobs and creatures of the Overworld dimension in Minecraft banding together to combat the invading forces of Piglins swarming from the terrifying Nether.
