Minecraft's 15th Anniversary and What's Next!
Fifteen years of building, mining, and surviving – Minecraft is celebrating its anniversary and looking towards an even brighter future! Mojang Studios is revamping its update schedule, promising more frequent releases throughout the year instead of the single yearly summer update.
Here's a sneak peek at what's coming:
-
More Frequent Updates: Say goodbye to the annual update cycle. Expect multiple smaller updates throughout the year, keeping the game fresh and exciting.
-
Revamped Minecraft Live: The annual October showcase is becoming a bi-annual event, with two shows per year. The popular mob vote is being retired, promising a different approach to community engagement and more frequent updates on development.
-
Improved Multiplayer: Mojang is focusing on improving the multiplayer experience, making it easier for players to connect and team up with friends.
-
PlayStation 5 Native Version: A native PlayStation 5 version of Minecraft is on the way.
-
Beyond the Game: An animated series and a Minecraft movie are currently in production. It's an incredible journey from its humble beginnings as "Cave Game" in 2009!
The Power of Community
Mojang Studios recognizes the significant contributions of the Minecraft community. Features like the cherry groves from the Trails & Tales Update are direct results of player suggestions. Even the new wolf variations and improvements to wolf armor came from community feedback. So, keep sharing your ideas!
