The new strategy game for Minecraft has its release today. We’ll tell you what time you can play and what you need to know about the content.
Minecraft is one of the most successful games of all time and has been trying to push more games into the gaming market for a while. This is also the case now with Minecraft Legends. We tell you everything you need to know about the new game from Mojang.
What time will Minecraft Legends be released? Minecraft Legends will be released on April 18th at 6:00 p.m. However, the developers are already warning that there may be a delay of a few minutes.
How is Minecraft Legends gameplay? Minecraft Legends is basically an action strategy game. You control yourselves as the “heroes” of this story and also numerous troops consisting of a wide variety of Minecraft creatures. This includes:
You not only direct individual units, but always command entire troop formations and set them on the enemy.
Building also plays a role in Minecraft Legends, so you can build small forts to have a solid defense. However, this is not as detailed as in the original Minecraft, but you issue building orders, which are then dealt with by your loyal servants.

What is the story of Minecraft Legends? It’s explained quite simply. The “Overworld” of Minecraft lives in peace and harmony. The villagers have made friends with the zombies, the creepers are nice neighbors, and the skeleton archers are friendly visitors too. But this utopia is suddenly shattered when the forces of the Nether attack. The Piglin – and other creatures – open a portal and flock to the Minecraft world to conquer it.
As the “hero” of the story, the player must now lead the various peoples of the Overworld into battle. He can take hordes and creepers with him or bring zombies into battle to survive against the piglins and their henchmen.
On which platforms is the game released? Minecraft Legends is available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation, Steam and Nintendo Switch. Also, the game is a direct part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass.
Do you have to have played Minecraft? No, that doesn’t seem necessary. While Minecraft veterans will of course recognize many creatures like zombies, piglins, or the infamous creepers, it’s not necessary to understand the story or gameplay – especially as there are some variations.
After all, Minecraft Legends also introduces new creatures that don’t exist in normal Minecraft. In addition, many of the beings behave a little differently as they all fight the Piglins together.
