[Related: Minecraft Legends Different Editions]

Cross-Gen?

Minecraft Legends will be having full cross-platform and will have cross-gen support at its release. This means for example that Xbox players will be able to play with past generations and non-xbox users. The title is set to launch on April 18, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S Nintendo Switch, and PC. Minecraft Legends will also be made available for free to any Xbox Game Pass Subscriber.

The Gameplay

During the Bethesda and Xbox Developer Direct Minecraft Legends’ PVP multiplayer mode was revealed, which will be included at the launch on April 18, 2023. This PVP multiplayer will be a separate addition from the title’s main story mode. The main story has gamers fighting battles to defend the Overworld from the destructive piglins.

In Minecraft Legends, the PVP experience will be cross-platform. Players will be able to party up with eight players, split into two teams. Each of the teams is tasked with the goal to capture and destroy their opponent’s base. What makes this so special is the fact that base defense relies on how each team builds it within their group making communication a key aspect. Every member of the team shares the same resources so every decision counts. Each PVP area is randomly generated which means every match will be a new one to experience and of course, enemy mobs will still be in the world. (Just like Minecraft). In Minecraft Legends it will be the Piglins taking part in the combat.

Minecraft Legends will only be launching with two different editions. The following editions are:

Standard Pack ($40)

• Base Game

Deluxe Pack ($50)

• Base Game
• 1 Hero Skin
• 4 Mount Skins
• 1 additional Mount Skin when it becomes available
