A collaboration with the makers of Homeworld 3
The few actual snippets of game there make me think ofDragon QuestHeroes? I’m a bit hazy on how it will all work so I’ll turn you over to Mojang’s blurb to make this vagueness official.
“Minecraft Legends is a unique action strategy game,” theannouncementexplains. “It has strategy elements at its core, but its mechanics are inspired by the immersion of action games. You get to explore the familiar yet in-many-ways-new Overworld in a third-person perspective. You will defend peaceful settlements and fight hordes of piglins to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. You are the center of every battle you lead, fighting alongside your allies while giving them directions. We’ll reveal more about how you’ll achieve the monumental task of repelling the piglins' invasion in the coming months.”
It’ll also support co-op in the campaign, as well as competitive multiplayer.
In ourMinecraft Dungeons review, Nate quite liked the spin-off even though it had “all Minecraft’s aesthetic elements, but absolutely nothing in common with it beyond that.” Legends does look like it has building, at least?
