Minecraft – Minecraft Live 2021: Minecraft Dungeons Seasonal Adventures

[MUSIC] >> Now, let’s welcome Laura to talk all about Minecraft Dungeons. Hi, Laura. >> Hi. >> You have a pretty cool job at Mojang Studios. >> Yeah, I think I have the coolest job. It’s sometimes difficult to believe, but I’m the Lead Designer of Minecraft Dungeons.

That means that I get to decide a lot of small things and details and bring a lot of ideas to the table. Hopefully, make the game a bit better. >> That does sound cool. >> Yeah. >> You and the Dungeons team have been working so hard recently and you’ve recently had

A couple of really cool releases. >> Yeah, it’s been crazy. We recently released Two-Steam. I did something that they never recommended to do, but I did it anyway and I read the reviews. >> That’s dangerous. >> Yeah it was, but it was so positive.

It was so full of excitement and love for the game. We were so proud to see how much the community loves it. We were very happy. Also this week, we’ve released this Spookier Fall update, which brings back a lot of Spooky modifiers to the game. Gear, a new cape, a new pet.

There’s my new favorite armor, which has a spoon steering in their head. >> I love that one. >> It’s lovely. I like it so much. >> A lot of fun to stare at while you’re playing, but it might distract you a little. >> Hopefully, not too much. >> Those just came out,

But we also have some new and exciting things to look at that haven’t come out yet. >> Yes. Let’s check it out. [MUSIC] >> That video is so exciting. >> Yeah, I love that trailer so much. It has so many details. >> There’s a lot going

On in that video and a lot to talk about, but why don’t we start with, now the DLC is done, what are Seasonal Adventures? >> Yeah, now that we are over with the story of the orb of dominance, we sat together with our friends at Double Eleven and we started

Working on Seasonal Adventures, which are a new way for the player to progress through the game, increasing ranks, gather points, and hopefully get cool rewards at the end. >> That sounds amazing. >> Yeah. >> How long did they last? >> Seasonal Adventures, although the name is seasonal, will be infinite technically. For instance,

Say we release Seasonal Adventure number 2, you will always be able to go back to Seasonal Adventure number 1, gather some rewards there, go back to number 2, gather some rewards there. It’s a bit up to you what do you decide to do with it. >> That’s amazing. It just last forever.

You get the new content and you still have the old content. >> All the content. >> Speaking of content, what are some of these new things that players can unlock? >> We added tons of new rewards that are completely new to the Minecraft universe, some old, some new.

We have tons of new bets. We have things like the duck, and the fox. I am so in love with all of them. We have flairs, which are new VFX that you can apply to your character. Whenever you drink a potion or you beat an enemy, you get to show off

A little bit and get some shininess there. Also we got in some emotes, which are this little dances or little expressions you can do with your character. >> Show off a little. >> Yeah, exactly, and have some fun with your friends. Why not play like we see here? Having a party.

Also we added tons of new capes because everyone loves capes and tons of new skins. >> That’s a lot of skins. >> That’s a ton of skins, yes. >> Well, now we have a question from a Minecraft creator. >> Right. >> Hey, Strawburry17 here. I have a question. Will there be free content

Included as a part of Seasonal Adventures? >> The answer is yes. We always try to make sure there’s content for everyone, regardless. For Seasonal Adventures, it’ll always be a free track and a track you can pay for. There’ll be different rewards in each and

You’ll be able to get whichever you want at anytime. We wanted to cater everyone. >> That’s great. How do you earn rewards? >> You will be able to get adventure points all throughout the game. Meaning that during the regular stuff you do, you’ll get them. Like, say you beat a daily trial,

At the end of the daily trial, you’ll get adventure points. Also we implemented new weekly challenges. We’ll ask you like, this week, if you beat 100 zombies, you’ll get extra adventure points. >> That’s a lot of zombies. >> Yeah, but people do it so fast. I was so impressed. Also the best way

To get adventure points is in the tower. >> The tower which we have not spoken about yet. What is the tower? >> The tower is another free single-player feature that we’ve added to camp. You’ll be able to see the gigantic tower in the camp. I love how it turned out.

It is a space with 30 different floors. It’s floor harder than the one before and you’ll get to fight the Narina moms, you’ll get to fight bosses, you’ll get to meet some new tower inhabitants. Hopefully, explore around and be able to test your skill. You will start with

A completely blank character from the bottom, and you’ll be able to find new gear as you progress. >> Okay. >> The floors get more difficult, your character gets stronger, and you can test your skill. >> That sounds really fun. Let’s take a look at some live gameplay of the tower right now.

For that, we have JP. Hi JP. >> Hello. I really liked my throne. >> I think you stole that throne from the Arch elegy. >> I think he stole it from me. >> Looking so sharp. >> It’s my stuff, let’s go loot the tower. >> Nice. >> What are we seeing here, Laura?

>> Great. We prepared some special source to showcase here. This is an example of a very early floor in the tower. If you see JP’s tower avatar has very little amount of gear. You’ll be always have the context that you’re high up in the tower. >> It looks so cool.

>> Yeah. We also wanted to make sure that the tower was this whimsical magical space. We have a boat, we have a river, why not? You’ll be able to find a ton of magical spaces and new characters to meet. This model is quite easy, as you can see. Seems it’s very early on.

>> Yeah, JP is doing really well. >> Yeah, exactly. We can see a sneak peek up there in that balcony. That’s our tower keeper. >> Very cool. >> Yeah, that’s a character that will guide you through the tower and yeah, will guide you around and ooh. >> Wow, JP did really well.

>> He was so fast. >> He made it look so easy. >> Yeah. >> Each of these levels generates itself, but you can come back for up to two weeks and replay the same thing? >> Yeah. Our tower runs will be seeded and they will change every two weeks.

Meaning that for two weeks you’ll be able to learn what happens in every floor. Say I reached floor 5 and I get defeated at floor 5. Then next time around, I’ll remember I should have chosen a different weapon and then I bet I could have done it. You can share those steps with

Your friends and you can learn together how to go through the tower. >> Practice and get better. >> Exactly. >> Let’s give JP a real challenge now. We’re going to go up the tower to a much higher floor. You’re ready JP? >> Let’s do it. >> Here, we’ve prepared a sample

Of what a harder floor could look like. We try to add new, exciting combinations of moms that we’ve never had before. JP is right now fighting jungle moms, but they’ll be ice moms together with them and they’ll be some new moms. Here, you can see some tower rapes

That spin fire in different new combinations. We also will have tower guards, which are extremely bulky, guards. We even have a guest in the mix. JP is getting snipped by it. That’s a tower guard right there. We’re getting tons of new combinations and new ways to experience

The game and the feet mobs and find strategies. >> It just looks really difficult. >> Yes, it is. >> JP is not doing so good right now. >> No. >> Let’s see. JP that was a valiant attempt. >> Yes. >> Really, really good. >> Now, he’s so good.

>> You’ve talked about so many new things, but when will people get to see them? >> We’ll get to see them, hopefully, everyone will get to play in December. >> December. >> Very soon. >> That is very soon. Thank you so much Laura for coming by. This is all very exciting.

>> Thank you for having me. >> Let’s take one last look at some gameplay from the tower. [MUSIC]
