Minecraft Legends Release Date Speculation, Gameplay, And Rumours

When is the Minecraft Legends release date? THEROBINSONSMUSIC This is a new action strategy game from Blackbird Interactive set within the world of Minecraft. Minecraft Legends sees the player take on the role of a legendary hero whose destiny is to unite the factions of the Overworld. If the Overworld doesn’t unite in a timely manner, they won’t be able protect their homes against Pigmin's army from the Nether.



Minecraft Legends was revealed at the Bethesda and Xbox Showcase in June 2022. It's still early days for this new project. The Minecraft Legends release date isn't set in stone, although we have a reasonable window as to when to expect it. Here's what we know about Minecraft Legends.



Date speculation for Minecraft Legends' release



Minecraft Legends is scheduled to launch sometime in 2023 on PC, Xbox Series X Sarah Bond (head of Xbox creator experience), revealed that all the games shown at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase will be available over the next 12 mois. We can infer that Minecraft Legends is likely to release by June 2023.



Minecraft Legends trailer



The Minecraft Legends trailer was shown at the showcase. While most of it is a cinematic, you see some gameplay footage towards the end:



Minecraft Legends Game Pass



Yes, Minecraft Legends will be available on both Xbox Game Pass (PC Game Pass) and Xbox Game Pass (PC Game Pass) starting today.



Minecraft Legends gameplay, features



Minecraft Legends will likely be very different from the typical RTS game. Here's what Mojang has said about the gameplay in Minecraft Legends:



"It has strategy elements, but its mechanics were inspired by the immersion in action games. You can see the familiar and yet mysterious Overworld from a third person perspective. You will defend peaceful settlements and fight hordes of piglins to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. You are the heart of every battle that you lead, fighting alongside your comrades and giving them direction.



In-direct control mechanics have been used in RTS games before. What we envision is that the player has direct command over their avatar's actions. NPCs can be given instructions by 'guided and 'directed' mechanics. Based on what we have seen, this is unlikely to apply to combat.



Mojang has stated that players will explore different biomes and harvest resources. Then, they will use those resources to create bases. The trailer shows the player planting a banner in order to get allies to move, but it also shows two little fairies engaging in environment deconstruction, likely for harvesting resources, and building.



Minecraft Legends features both competitive and cooperative multiplayer. However, no details are provided beyond that. Crossplay has not been mentioned yet, but we would expect at least Xbox to PC.
