Minecraft Legends has just been released, giving players another opportunity to return to the charming and blocky world of Minecraft.

Key Points: 
  • Minecraft Legends has just been released, giving players another opportunity to return to the charming and blocky world of Minecraft.
  • The eponymous mining is central to the game, with players acquiring resources to craft into buildings and goods.
  • The Minecraft players who create these videos of their own play are sometimes so successful that they make full-time livings from it.

Minecraft spinoffs

    • The new Minecraft Legends is not the first additional Minecraft game we’ve seen.
    • Games like Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft Dungeons have also come to market in recent years.
    • Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft Dungeons sought to take the Minecraft world and the Minecraft fandom into new kinds of gameplay (narrative and “dungeon crawling”).

Diverging from the mines

    • They are also unable to capture new fans interested in the genre, but not the setting, precisely because of their Minecraft association.
    • This is one of the difficult binds faced by a company trying to spin-off games in this way.
    • So can trying to repeat a huge success while not repeating the exact content of the original.

Beyond the mines

    • I’m a judge on the global Generative Design in Minecraft competition.
    • This is a computer programming contest that uses Minecraft to explore new kinds of AI-driven worlds and spaces in digital gaming.
    • A game like Minecraft Legends demonstrates once again the increasing emphasis on trying to safely repeat past wins instead of innovating.
