'It's not about your character getting stronger,' Nedfors said.

You're never alone on your journey: you're able to rally up friendly mobs like badgers and llamas to follow you, and you have the assistance of fairy-like allays which gather and build for you. Historically hostile mobs will join the player's forces, too: in previews, we've seen creepers and zombie villagers, alongside new player-built golems.ĭuring the footage from Minecraft Live 2022 we got a chance to see the mob spawners, which allow you to spawn historically hostile mobs to aid you on your journey to take down the piglin invaders. The first trailer showcased the standard horse mount, but the latest gameplay look confirms that there will be a plethora of mounts (including a large, sparkling purple feline).

The main gameplay cycle has the player traversing through biomes on a mount while they gather materials, support allies, fight angry mobs of piglins, and craft personalized bases. Minecraft Legends remixes the series standard survival and crafting into a real-time strategy adventure across the Minecraft overworld, which is split into both new and familiar biomes.

It looks like longtime enemies are all going to come together to kick the piglins back into the Nether. 'According to the legend, only you can bring together the mobs of the Overworld and help them defend their home.'īased on that, it makes a lot of sense that we see the player riding their horse at the head of an army full of creepers, zombies, and skeletons. Minecraft Legends 'tells the story of the Overworld uniting against an invasion by the ravenous piglins,' it says.
