The Minecraft world has been on fire as of late following the release of The Wild Update, Minecraft 1.19, and some other major news like the unification of Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

More recently however there’s plenty of other action around Minecraft, and here are the biggest things you may have missed this week.

Minecraft Legends Revealed

Minecraft Legends is a new direction for the franchise entirely. This game will be an action strategy game where players unite to push back evil forces and build up armies of their own by uniting the Overworld.

This game will focus on player’s ability to make strategic decisions when controlling troops. Don't worry, though, you’ll still have plenty of combat yourself to take on as well.

In the end, Minecraft Legends is a really good sign for the Minecraft franchise as it continues to expand to new genres and exciting games.
