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.
