Minecraft Legends action strategy game coming in 2023

Minecraft is getting a new spin-off in the form of Minecraft Legends, an action strategy game that is coming in 2023.

According to the studio, Minecraft Legends was created in partnership with Vancouver-based studio Blackbird Interactive (BBI). It tells the story of the Overworld uniting against an invasion by the ravenous piglins. According to the legend, only you can bring together the mobs of the Overworld and help them defend their home.

Players will get to explore the familiar yet in-many-ways-new Overworld in a third-person perspective, as well as defend peaceful settlements and fight hordes of piglins to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. Watch the announcement trailer below.
