Minecraft Legends arrives later this year. The last Minecraft spinoff got a new trailer and more details during the Xbox Developer Direct presentation on Wednesday, where Microsoft also announced the game is set to release on April 18.
The latest trailer focuses on Minecraft Legends‘ PvP mode, which combines elements of action and real-time strategy games, and pits teams of players against each other to build a base, collect resources and plunder each other’s fortresses. The map will still be procedurally generated, giving each match a unique feel. There will also be neutral Piglin enemies that players can fight for resources against and have to defend against.
The goal of each PvP match is to destroy the enemy base while defending your own. This makes base building one of the most important parts of the mode, and the trailer shows off a lot of different options on how your base looks, as well as some fun strategies to keep each team on their toes.
Minecraft LegendsThe other mode will be its story campaign, which will include cooperative play. The campaign asks players to work with Minecraft races to defend a procedurally generated world from Piglin’s invasion.
Minecraft Legends will be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
