The recent Xbox Developer_Direct finally revealed when we can start building bases and destroying our enemies. Here's all we know about Minecraft Legends, from its release date to its gameplay and story.

Minecraft Legends Release Date: April 18, 2023

Minecraft Legends comes out on April 18, 2023. The game is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|SNintendo Switch, and PC. Players can already start preordering the game on all platforms. If you're wondering whether or not you should get the game, then don't worry. We have a summary of the review scores critics have given the game ahead of its release. It contains their scores, as well as their thoughts about the game.

Minecraft Legends Gameplay

Unlike the original game, Minecraft Legends is a third-person action-strategy game. Instead of the usual exploration and building players may be accustomed to, Minecraft Legends is closer to being a real-time strategy game. The player themselves do not fight. Instead, they will have to unite and guide various mobs and lead attacks on enemy encampments. The mobs the player can recruit include well-known mobs such as zombies, as well as new ones such as a sentient arrow launcher. Players will have to guide these groups of mobs and attack the enemies, defeating the enemy mobs and destroying buildings.

While the game has a single-player campaign mode, there is also a multiplayer PvP mode. Two teams of four players will face off with the aim of taking down the other team. They must find resources, recruit mobs, and scout out the enemy. To win, players must destroy their enemy's base, and prevent theirs from being destroyed.

What's interesting is that much like the original game, both the single-player mode and the PvP mode happen in randomly generated worlds. This means no two playthroughs will ever be the same, giving the game so much replayability.

It is up to the player on their noble steed to form alliances with the Overworld's mobs and push back against the invaders.
