Minecraft will have the right to a new spin-off: Legends. Wishing to skilfully mix RTS and scripted adventure game, it arrives on PC and consoles on April 18th. The new trailer shows us what lies ahead.
Minecraft declined in a first spin-off in 2020, Dungeons. In 2023, Microsoft is back with Legends, a real-time strategy adventure game slated for release this month. A title on which the Redmond firm is betting a lot in this month of April 2023 which is very busy with video game releases.
The game was announced in 2022 and this week, a new trailer has appeared on the Internet. It shows us the universe in which we will be immersed and the challenges of this unprecedented adventure. It will be necessary to defend the world against an invasion of the nether.
Minecraft Legends, a new spin-off in the world of Minecraft
The idea of Legends is to take over the universe and the artistic direction of the 2011 game to decline it with a new gameplay. Here, we are no longer in front of a sandbox where everything is permitted. Finally more completely. Scripted, this title will take us on a linear adventure with an RTS component. You will have to build bases in order to defend yourself or attack enemies using minions. Thus, Microsoft continues to exploit its flagship game, which can be declined in all sauces. First hack and slash, now RTS.
