Kayleen Walters, head of Mojang Studios and VP of franchise development for gaming at Microsoft: We wanted to push the story beyond what players experience in-game and do something special for the film, making sure Minecraft not only stayed true to its roots but also created an experience that welcomed new fans into the franchise.

Road to Vostok is a post-apocalyptic single-player survival game that has secured the entire production budget for years to come within just 24 hours of its launch.

Angela Jobson, SVP of global brand at Merlin Entertainments, expressed excitement about bringing Minecraft's creativity and adventures to life at Chessington World of Adventures, emphasizing the immersive experience for fans.

Petit Planet is the studio's take on Animal Crossing, though with a few interesting ideas of its own. The game's most recent test took place all the way back in November, but its next big test isn't far off.

Minecraft World will cost £50 million to develop and will feature a world-first coaster, themed retail and dining, plus a host of fan favourites and ridiculous fun from the Minecraft universe.

In 2021, Facebook became Meta and the company claimed its focus would be to " life." It launched Horizon Worlds, a VR metaverse that people could explore and create worlds in. It looked bad and wasn't great, but it was supposedly the future. Five years later, Meta's metaverse is ditching VR and spinning Worlds into a Roblox clone after burning $70+ billion on virtual and augmented reality.

Few tools have reshaped day-to-day work in tech as quickly as generative AI; coding tasks that once took developers days-or weeks-can now be spun up in seconds. So naturally, many workers are now embracing "vibes" to program, instead of writing software line by line. But Minecraft creator Markus Persson, the billionaire developer better known as "Notch," is sounding an alarm: even if tech companies are embracing coding with AI, that doesn't make it a good thing.

The best new co-op games are those that do something a bit different, offering more than a single-player experience with another player thoughtlessly tacked on. These multiplayer games account for groups of friends all wanting their own role, with a shared goal in sight and plenty of chaos on the path to getting there.
