Minecraft Legends release date and everything you need to know
Minecraft Legends is the next of the upcoming Xbox Series X games to launch in 2023, with Mojang Studios teaming up with Blackbird Interactive to deliver a compelling action-strategy spin-off set in the wider Minecraft universe. This multi-platform release looks utterly delightful, with its vibrant visual style and surprise twist on the familiar Minecraft fundamentals.
Rather than establish bases to survive the threats of the Overworld, you'll be working to unite them – teaming up the mobs to face an invading Piglin army. This Xbox Game Pass release looks set to deliver an experience which is easy to grasp for the casual strategy fan, albeit with a surprising amount of depth lurking beneath the surface for you genre diehards. Naturally, we don't have long to wait to try it for ourselves now, so get caught up on all things Minecraft Legends below.
The Minecraft Legends release date is set for April 18, 2023. The launch date was revealed back in January, when Mojang appeared in an Xbox Developer Direct alongside fellow Xbox Game Studios members Arkane, Bethesda, and Turn 10 for fresh looks at Redfall, Elder Scrolls Online, and Forza Motorsport. It was here where Microsoft Gaming also gave us a first look at the game's PvP mode.
Although Microsoft owns Mojang, having acquired the developer and the Minecraft IP in 2014, the company remains committed to ensuring release parity for this universe. That means that Minecraft Legends will be launching on practically every platform there is: Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5 on April 18. Minecraft Legends will also be a part of the full Xbox Game Pass list from day one, meaning it'll be available to Xbox and PC Game Pass users as part of the subscription.
