Mojang is calling Village & Pillage “Minecraft’s most adventurous update yet”. The official trailer they revealed today certainly makes it look appropriately epic.

Ever wondered what Breath fo the Wild‘s Hyrule Castle would look like if it was recreated in Minecraft? Well, now we have the answer.

On May 7, the new Xbox One S also being called the will finally be available for a $249.99 price tag. The big selling point regarding the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is that there
Back in 2016, Mojang promised to release a Minecraft movie in May 2019. Clearly, that ended up not being the case due to several shifts in direction. In January, Warner Bros. finally settled on Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’s Peter Sollet as writer and director, and today we learned when the Minecraft will (hopefully) be released. The
Nearly 10 years after initially releasing to the public, Mojang’s Minecraft is still setting new sales milestones. Just recently, Minecraft’s PC version specifically has now passed 30 million copies sold worldwide. The official Minecraft website keeps track of this data in a ticker at the bottom of the webpage stating how many copies of the title have been
Gaming phenomenons have come and gone as the years have passed, but one game has stood the test of time in terms of popularity and that is Minecraft.

Today marks a new edition of Inside Xbox, Microsoft’s monthly show where they highlight new and upcoming games for Xbox One and PC. It also tends to prevalently showcase Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s monthly subscription service for games. Microsoft kicked off today’s show by revealing that Minecraft would be coming to Xbox Game Pass on
The Nintendo Switch is undoubtedly a hit compared to Nintendo’s previous console the Wii U. While the console-handheld hybrid still has a long way to go before it can reach the same sales numbers as the Wii, however, it’s nice to see Nintendo back in the limelight after what felt like years of disappointment in
Both Minecraft and low-fi indie adventure Undertale with games like Fortnite and Deltarune stealing their spotlight. But creators are still working on making some cool fan projects — even if it means merging the two unlikely franchises together. A newly-created video focuses on just that, offering up the intro of the game in a new light. Posted by Redditor u/Dodu-, the video seems
Minecraft is the biggest game of the past decade, which is why it is weird to see support for the game ending on several older systems. Last December, 4J Studio ceased support on the PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and Wii U versions of the game following The Nightmare Before Christmas Mash-up Pack. Well over 21 million players picked
The first game from Hypixel Studios–a company formed from the team behind the largest Minecraft server network on the planet–was announced in December 2018 as Hytale, a spiritual successor to the game. Since then, multiple updates, a first look trailer, and FAQs have been consistently pumped out. The announcement trailer has since crossed 30 million views
Minecraft will no longer be receiving updates or development for its Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U versions. Developer 4J Studios, who handles development of Minecraft’s console iterations, announced the end of support on Twitter as they packed up their development kits for the old consoles. Its been six years since Minecraft
Last weekend at Minecon Earth, Microsoft and Mojang announced Minecraft: Dungeons, a dungeon crawling spin-off to one of the most successful games of all time. Minecraft enjoys around 91 million active monthly users right now and doesn’t show any signs of stopping. That being said, Business Insider still asked Microsoft’s Head of Minecraft Helen Chiang
I often find myself scrolling through media outlets–like Twitter, for instance–shaking my head and breathing long sighs of disappointment when I come across posts that seemingly point the finger at video games for the world’s mental health problems. The vast majority of research on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: namely,
Coming off a fiery E3 2018 presentation chock full of great games to look forward to in the coming years, now might be a great time to jump in and get an Xbox One if you’ve been on the fence on getting one, and two new bundles have arrived featuring some of the most popular
It seems like almost everytime I think I’m safe from the temptation of buying another Nintendo handheld, the company releases something that makes me throw any shred of fiscal responsibility I had left into the wind. Having held off on buying the company’s Hylian Shield 2DS back in May, I (foolishly) thought I was in
With Sony stubbornly refusing to join the cross-play scene, Microsoft and Nintendo are certainly not wasting the chance to push the message. With the release of the “Better Together” update to Minecraft, Microsoft released a new trailer that is all about gamers playing together on Xbox One and Switch. It goes all the way to
Earth Day gives us the chance to look back at our home and reflect on how we have treated dear Mother Earth over the year. It also means we get a bunch of really cool special events to tide us over! For starters, Minecraft has partnered with United for Life to create the We Are
In what is perhaps the strangest story of the week, it seems that Minecraft players will soon be able to earn Xbox Live achievements while playing the game on Nintendo Switch. Patrick Maka was one of the first to notice this odd revelation over on Twitter where he tweeted out a screenshot of the achievement listing. Much
Until a few years ago, the idea of seeing a Microsoft representative on a Sony stage would have seemed quite ludicrous, but times have changed, and the house of Windows and Xbox now owns one of the biggest games IP in the world, Minecraft. This caused what was previously unthinkable to happen. At the PlayStation
It’s that time of the year. Whether you’re buying presents for your brother, sister, mother, and father or making that Amazon wish list, holiday gift ideas are on your mind.

Last month during Microsoft’s Gamescom Livestream, Mojang announced a new Xbox One S Minecraft bundle that will launch on October 3rd. The new bundle will include a custom design that matches the games block-style visuals. A few days ago, the company launched two new Minecraft-themed controllers, which pair perfectly with the bundle. Today, Microsoft released two new

When Sony Interactive Entertainment first enabled cross-network gameplay with PC quite a while ago, Microsoft appeared to be the hindering factor to truly having everyone playing on the same servers. Yet, when Microsoft opened up, the house of PlayStation surprisingly took a step back, refusing to let its players mix up with those on Xbox.
There were plenty of people who thought the purchase of developer Mojang by mega-publisher Microsoft was signaling the end of Minecraft’s appeal of universality. Speculation within the gaming community was rife with claims that Microsoft may entirely stop developing for anything outside of the Microsoft family of systems — or worse. With all of those fears trumped up at the
42 energy drinks later: E3 2017 is done and in the rear-view mirror. And as it has the last few years, today, ICO Partners released its annual assessment that looks into which companies generated the most press coverage during the super-bowl like trade-show. For the first time since ICO Parnters began with this assessment in
During Microsoft’s E3 press conference, Mojang announced that they would be bringing cross-platform play to Minecraft for all consoles and devices.
