Put down the shovel, pick up the staff
Just in time for the upcoming film, Mojang announced thatMinecraftis getting an ambitious Dungeons & Dragons crossover. Like any D&D campaign, the crossover begins around a blocky table with an open pizza box, and then it escalates into a roughly ten-hour, action-RPG take on Minecraft as you trek through the classic tabletop’s fantasy world.
If you still have an appetite for more blocky dice-rolling, Wizards Of The Coast and Mojang are also collaborating on theMinecraft Monstrous Compendium, laying down stats for Minecraft’s iconic slew of beasties.
The crossover mode is coming out this Spring on all platforms - which at this point, includes practically every modern system. The sandbox classic is also available on Game Pass if you’re one of the handful of players yet to own it.
To me, Minecraft used to be an undercover horror game as I’d burrow myself into the side of a mountain and cover the land with torches, hoping to keep away any zombie respawns. Now, though, I use Minecraft like I’m channel-hopping in a foreign country, switching betweenrecreations of Toto’s Africaandfive-hour-long, fireside ASMR screens.
Although, I might jump back in withMinecraft Legends, a very cool-looking action strategy spin-off that’s launching on April 18th.
