Minecraft Legends is a new Action Strategy game that is coming out on 18th April this year. The new game will offer players a new experience in familiar territories from the world of Minecraft. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Steam, Game Pass, Xbox and Microsoft Cloud.

Minecraft Legends is an RTS spinoff of Minecraft

If you like the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, Minecraft Legends is something that might interest you. Minecraft was first announced at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live 2022 event. The game is being developed by Blackbird Interactive in partnership with Mojang and Microsoft. 

Unlike the usual sandbox-building elements, players will have to set up bases and protect their settlements from invaders. The gameplay will be very different from what we see in Minecraft with the game world being the only common factor across Minecraft and Minecraft Legends.

This is not the first time that Minecraft is diverging to other genres. We saw Minecraft Dungeons release in 2020 which offered Diablo-like action roleplaying game (ARPG) mechanics. Minecaft Legends might experience the same kind of popularity thanks to the franchise raking in hundreds of millions of players for over a decade. With Minecraft Legends being available on both the Xbox and PC Game Pass, you can play the game at launch if you are subscribed.

Minecraft Legends Price

At launch, Minecraft Legends will be available in two versions: the Standard Edition (i.e. the base game) for $39.99 USD and the Deluxe Edition for $49.99 USD, which includes the base game and the Deluxe Skin pack for a discounted price,

In the Deluxe Skin Pack, you’ll get one hero skin, four mount skins to change the appearance of your trusty steed, and an additional mount skin when it becomes available post launch. The Deluxe Skin Pack will be available for purchase separately down the line for $14.99 USD, so don’t worry if you don’t get the Deluxe Edition at launch. Just note that the Deluxe Edition does offer savings compared to purchasing the base game and the Deluxe Skin Pack separately.
