The companies behind Minecraft and Dungeons and Dragons have recently announced a partnership to bring D&D to the digital game as a DLC. The announcement of the Minecraft crossover was a part of D&D Direct, a traditional online show that announces new D&D products.
Released over a decade ago, Minecraft is perhaps one of the most enduring sandbox games in existence today. The game’s flexibility and creative gameplay, the fact that it's an excellent game to play with a low-spec PC, as well as several updates, have kept it popular for years. Over time, Minecraft gained several new game modes, a few crossovers, and countless fan-made creations. Now, it’s set to get one of its most awaited crossovers ever.
