At this year’s Xbox & Bethesda Showcase event, we saw many new trailers and announcements, but also received a piece of completely unexpected news for a new game set in the Minecraft universe. Minecraft: Legends is a brand new action/strategy game in which you will team up with mobs to defend the Overworld from the invasion of the Piglins.

As with most Minecraft releases so far, this title will also be available on an extremely large number of systems – for a complete list of all the platforms on which Minecraft: Legends will be released, see the list below.

After the success of the previous spin-off game – Minecraft Dungeons – it isn’t surprising that Mojang is exploring new ways to repackage Minecraft into other genres.

The Announce Trailer shown at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase featured a bit of story and a presentation of the new game’s mechanics. Check it out below to see Minecraft: Legends in action.
