Scheduled to hit our monitors on April 18th, Minecraft Legends offers players new and exciting ways to experience the Minecraft universe.
To ensure your strategic defences are ready, we’ll be taking a deep dive into everything we can expect to see in Minecraft Legends, covering gameplay, multiplayer, and even our top PC recommendations.
Save the Overworld!
With plenty of mods and unique DLC packs available for Minecraft, there are multiple different ways players can enjoy building, crafting, and exploring everyone’s favourite block universe. Minecraft Legends is set to expand on this one step further.
With a heavy focus on action and strategic gameplay, you must form new alliances with your friends and unlikely mobs to engage in epic battles to defend the Overworld.
Gathering precious resources, crafting, and building up your fortress will give you a distinct advantage over the hordes of deadly piglins. Whilst the dynamic, ever-changing Overworld has plenty of resources for you to get your hands on, and they will change each time you play.
Is Minecraft Legends a Multiplayer Game?
Minecraft Legends will feature comprehensive multiplayer support, including an online campaign co-op and competitive multiplayer modes.
What’s more, along with different multiplayer options, Minecraft Legends will also include support for crossplay. No matter the choice of platform, you’ll be able to team up with your friends, forge unbreakable bonds, and lead deadly strategic battles to save the Overworld.
