Notch announces Minecraft 2 and everyone wonders if it will ever happen

The forefather of Minecraft announces a successor. But how much should you trust that Notch will really deliver “Minecraft 2”?

Minecraft is still one of the most successful games of all time and is still very popular. But the forefather of Minecraft apparently has an idea for Minecraft 2 – or whatever name the spiritual successor will have. Because he no longer owns the rights to the game.

What was announced? Notch, the original inventor of Minecraft, started a survey on the X platform at the turn of the year. He wanted to know what game the community wanted him to play next. The choice could be made between “Minecraft 2” and a traditional roguelike game.

The choice was pretty clear, as 79% of those who voted chose “Make Minecraft 2, Boomer.”

The decision seems to have been made that Notch wants to work on a spiritual successor to Minecraft 2. He himself notes that such spiritual successors often suffer a tragic fate – but if that’s what the fans want from him, he would be stupid not to take the money with him and not fulfill this wish.

What exactly would a Minecraft 2 look like? Nobody can answer that yet – not even Notch. Because it is clear that Notch should not call the game “Minecraft 2”. After all, the rights to Minecraft now belong to Mojang and therefore to Microsoft. Notch sold the game many years ago and it has since been further developed by another team.

However, he explains that he would design a spiritual successor in such a way as to avoid copyright infringement. Because he definitely has respect for what the current team is doing with Minecraft.

Notch is considered controversial: Even though Notch is the forefather of Minecraft, he is now considered quite controversial. In recent years in particular, he has often made critical statements against the LGBTQIA+ community and has also sharply criticized feminism.

He has described feminism as a “social disease”, insulted non-binary video game developers and called transgender people “confused” and accused them of suffering from a “mental illness” – even if he made the last accusation took part back.

These incidents had already led to Notch being removed from the credits of the original Minecraft in the past.

What’s more, Notch’s X-Account resembles a somewhat strange fever dream. In addition to the survey, you can also find seemingly very incoherent tweets in which it is not entirely clear what he wants with them. Some excerpts from the last few days:

  • “By the way, I’m serious about all of this.” (on X)
  • “I have no idea how much money I have.” (on X)
  • “I have a really small penis.” (on X)

    • How much trust you place in this type of announcement is ultimately up to each individual. However, there are many fans who would like to see another game like Minecraft from the original “father” of the game. These hopes have now been significantly stoked. A film for Minecraft will also be released soon – one that even the streamer Gronkh worked on: The new trailer for the Minecraft film is here and everyone wants Gronkh to be the speaker – He has a surprise on Twitch
