Insane Multiplayer Update Coming to Minecraft?! 🤯

Hello i’m yeah xtoycat and yesterday out of nowhere we saw the announcement of minecraft legends with a brand new trailer which is suspiciously light on details and so since then i’ve been trying to work out exactly what this real-time strategy game in the minecraft universe would actually be like and

Through the little trips of information that have been found here and there i have some really good information to share with you because i think this will be a good game it’s got a decent connection to the minecraft law and universe it’s going to have competitive multiplayer and most interestingly a

Full it’s going to be developed by a studio that isn’t mojang obviously in partnership with mojang because it’s a minecraft game but there are some very interesting things about how this game will be and let me just jump into it and share all of that with you right now

Because all that mojang themselves are sharing about this game they keep linking to this webpage called minecraft.net legends and if you go there it just says watch the trailer there’s this lovely background you can download some desktop wallpapers if you want and then it also says unite the overworld discover the mysteries of

Minecraft legends a new action strategy game lead your allies in heroic battles to defend the overworld from destructive piglens so first things first you can tell from this image and that description that this game is going to be about the overworld the good guys versus the never the bad guys and that’s

An interesting enough premise by itself it’s the obvious one to take but also it could be the law connection into minecraft to explain where all of these ruined portals came from they’re the portals that were destroyed by the heroics that led the villagers so you know there’s a fun connection into the

Minecraft world which i really appreciate and then also the other thing it’s described here as an action strategy there’s a very slight difference there but it kind of implies it’s not just going to be the click your units build your stuff sort of thing which i i do definitely like as well

It’s going to have an active kind of component where you’re controlling uh perhaps a heroic commander or something which does sound very interesting to me i’d love to hear more about that later but yeah that’s all that mojang themselves have shared about this however mojang you might know uh owned

By microsoft and microsoft obviously has the xbox game division who have shared a whole bunch more about this so uh what i’ve read from xbox.com is on behalf of the minecraft legends team i’m excited to say that earlier today as part of the xbox and bethesda games showcase because

They also bought bethesda honestly microsoft owns so many game studios but that’s a point for another day uh mojang studios unveiled minecraft legends an all-new action strategy game developed in partnership with blackbird interactive wait developed in partnership with blackbird interactive that’s interesting we’ll come back to that later launching in 2023 committing

To the year next year this is going to be coming out that means they’ve been developing it for some time and minecraft legends takes players to the minecraft universe in a fun and unique new way as they lead their allies in a heroic battle to defend the overworld so

This is confirming the exact same point but in different words that you are defending the overworld you are the good guys helping out the villagers uh defending them from the piglens and all of the other things however they confirmed with this post which is interesting to me that they say in

Minecraft legends players will discover a gentle land both familiar and mysterious full of lush biomes and rich resources but this beautiful land is on the bulk of a terrible change the piglen invasion has begun and threatens to corrupt the overworld it’s up to the player to make unexpected friends

Including some classic mobs you’ll recognize from minecraft to form valuable alliances and lead the way into strategic battles against the fierce invaders from the never so this one confirms again the same never versus a world thing but this also confirms that you’re going to be using existing minecraft biomes to find the resources

That you need to build your armies right to uh to be and also by the way you’re going to be forming these alliances with different uh mobs some of well so it references that there’ll be some classic mobs that you recognize from minecraft but that also implies there’ll be some

Mobs you don’t recognize obviously you can see right here that he’s got a you know they’re riding some form of mount something or horse or whatever uh but it also looks above their head they’ve got a flag or a halberd or who knows what it

Really is but also you can see just how different the uh the game looks right here my door shut it was very scary so yeah i’m very very curious about this one as you can see um i think this is a gameplay screenshot from the trailer but

This is to me what sold me i was like ooh i i like what’s happening here i like the direction it feels like expiration but really it’s about this resource and this strategy thing but then also they say right here the game will have very exciting campaign that introduces many

Surprises for new and seasoned minecraft players alike in fact if we just skip ahead we can share with you the two important lines here this game will have an online campaign co-op like minecraft dungeons does but unlike minecraft dungeons unlike any other minecraft game besides the base game if you’re in a

Niche pvp community there will be competitive online multiplayer so i’m assuming there’s a way where you can fight each other maybe you’re both overworld maybe one of you takes over the piglens maybe the campaign is about fighting the piglens as the overworld but you can unlock uh the never and you

Can fight as the nevery forces i’m very curious as to how that works how they balance that how they make it not just multiplayer not just you can fight each other but competitive multiplayer i am so curious and they’re gonna be sharing more this year it’s gonna be a lot

Sooner than you think by the way but more on that later also blackbird interactive a development team with a long track record of delivering strong strategy gameplay experiences will be their partner on this so it’s worth mentioning uh that i went to look up blackbird interactive because i

Was like well they said they’re saying the word partner but they haven’t mentioned this before blackbird have actually worked on not only uh looking for their games by the way you can see that they’ve not only worked on minecraft uh uh dungeons but they’ve also upped a minecraft earth right here actually it’s

Just minecraft not minecraft dungeons sorry and in that role they assisted mojang studios but on this one you can see that it’s developed along with mojang studios so even they’re taking up 50 of the game development which is unlikely let’s be honest having two studios develop half isn’t very

Efficient or more likely they’ve taken the primary role on this because if you look at their other games that they’ve developed this is their wikipedia list you can see that oh homeworld deserts of carack uh is a well-liked game development published by gearbox it wasn’t very popular in terms of sales

Numbers but it did very well in terms of review scores project eagle was developed with nasa so that’s that’s a pretty decent one um hard space shipbreaker i think it hasn’t officially released but it’s in early access but that game is doing very well and so when

You take a look at all of their titles people like them they’re not all the most successful things you probably haven’t heard of any of these but they do seem to be liked games which is why them partnering with minecraft is a good idea anything with the minecraft brand

Is gonna sell millions of copies we don’t know the sales numbers on minecraft dungeons but it was enough for them to develop dlc for two years it sounds like they’re slowing down on that now because of this new game but like they developed dlcs for two years and it

Was a monetary worthwhile decision so it sounds as though take a game studio who can make good games take a brand that people will buy any amount of just because they’re curious about the universe and you get minecraft legends is that going to be enough that’s a question for a different time perhaps

But if i had to tell you right now i think that is the genius solution rather minecraft are very good at developing the block game uh or they have a block game which is a solid basis and they’re good at improving being a good steward

Whatever you want to call it but that is what minecraft can do very well however um you know what what they have issues with is expanding into other genres because people expect them to be as good as they are at this thing they’ve been doing for 10 years on something they

Start from scratch minecraft earth had the issues of not enough content or reason to play and people just kind of gave up on it before it got too big so even during the pandemic when it should have been its biggest it failed minecraft dungeons did better i think by

Comparison but it had the same issue where people expect diablo level good and it’s very entry-level it’s your it’s diablo but for you know pre-teens perhaps you could say and although they did a good job of making appeal to everyone in terms of like there were reasons to it didn’t have the staying

Power for everyone until years of updates later when a lot of people had given up and so minecraft legends the hope is they can learn from both of these uh you know mistakes in part both of these uh errors and uh the goal is that they make a minecraft spin-off game

That utilizes this billion multi-billion dollar ip and utilizes it to make a good real-time strategy game and uh yeah in case you’re thinking like well you know i’m gonna i’m gonna wait till i see more i’m gonna wait till i see actual gameplay thank you for being like that i’m glad

As an industry i’ve seen so many people say this and i’m glad that as a games industry they now know you have to show gameplay you can’t excite me with cinematics i’m not gonna be downloading a movie or buying a movie i’m going to be uh obviously playing a game i want to

See gameplay you know at the very least and so uh what what we have heard and what we’ve seen is that there’ll be an extended stream so yesterday they had the xbox bethesda games showcase announcement the reason it caught us off guard is because we weren’t expecting a

Brand new minecraft game uh but they’ve confirmed that they’ll be doing a second showcase on tuesday june the 14th that is tomorrow by the way and this second game showcase will have deeper looks at the news from the xbox and bethesda games and uh you’ll be able to speak

With some of your favorite game creators so someone behind blackbird interactive someone behind mojang maybe someone from both will be talking about and sharing actual gameplay and actual information from the game rather than just a hype trailer it’s going to be available in english latin american spanish brazilian portuguese german and french it’s

Interesting they clarify latin american spanish and brazilian portuguese if you live in if you live in europe and speak spanish or portuguese you know you suck uh but also uh there’s audio descriptions and american sign language available wow what a lovely thing but more seriously you can tell that yeah

This is a very positive development we’re actually gonna be seeing gameplay and it’s going to be tomorrow at 10 a.m specific time that is 6 p.m uk time real time and uh if you live anywhere else in the world just convert it from that and you’ll find when that’s being announced
