Minecraft has had a banner year, not only continuing to grow in popularity but also expanding its reach through a number of exciting projects, including an animated series and an upcoming feature film. Despite being nearly 15 years old, Mojang Studios shows no signs of slowing down, instead investing even more heavily in the future of the game, with a new development-oriented update that promises to bring many exciting experiences to players.
Regular New Features and Updates to Look Forward to
Mojang will continue to deliver regular feature updates moving forward, replacing the traditional summer update model. Instead of just one major update each year, Minecraft will now have many smaller feature updates, released more frequently, to quickly respond to community requests. This allows the game to constantly evolve and bring new improvements, while still maintaining the essence of Minecraft that players love.
One particularly exciting piece of news is that Minecraft is coming to PS5, promising a seamless cross-platform experience and improved multiplayer. PS5 players will soon be able to connect and share their adventures in the blocky world with friends more easily than ever before.
Minecraft Live to Be Held Twice a Year
Mojang also announced a major change to the format of Minecraft Live. Instead of just one event each October, the event will now be held twice a year, bringing more live streams. It will be the place to update on upcoming features, new betas, and important news related to the Minecraft franchise. This move will allow the community to get a deeper look at what’s coming next, and contribute to a closer bond between developers and players.
Goodbye Mob Vote, Open to New Creative Content
While Mob Vote – a staple of Minecraft Live – will be shutting down, Mojang Studios is committed to continuing to develop the game based on feedback from the community. Features like cherry trees, unique wolf variants, and changes to armor designs were all inspired by player suggestions. It’s this close collaboration between the development team and the community that has made Minecraft such a global phenomenon.
The Future of Minecraft: Collaborating with the Community
Mojang Studios promises to bring new features based on player creativity in the future, making Minecraft a successful collaborative journey. The development of the game relies not only on the vision of the developers but also on the collaboration of the community, ensuring that Minecraft will continue to explode with fun and creative experiences for years to come.
