Minecraft Legends can be played solo or with others. In the campaign, up to four players can work together to defeat the piglin hordes. You can even set it to allow players on your friends list to drop in whenever they want!
Minecraft Legends also has a Versus Mode, pitting teams of players against one another in battle, and monthly challenges that will test your skills.
Minecraft Legends will be on most major platforms; PC, XBox One, XBox Series S and Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. It supports full crossplay between all platforms, so you'll always be able to battle alongside your friends!
Minecraft Legends does not have split-screen; each player will need to have their own copy of the game on a separate device.
Minecraft Legends is not free to play. The game's launch price is $39.99 USD, and additional in-game purchases such as cosmetics are available as well.
Minecraft Legends also has a Deluxe Edition, which includes additional skins, priced at $49.99 USD.
Minecraft Legends uses an open, procedurally-generated world, ensuring that each campaign will be different. The Well Of Fates, the game's starting position, is always at the center of the map, while biomes, piglin bases, villages, and other points of interest are all variably placed.
The world of Minecraft Legends is much, much smaller than that of original Minecraft. You can traverse the map from one point to another pretty quickly, and you can also teleport to important areas as long as they haven't been taken over by the Nether.
Minecraft Legends is more about defending territory and defeating the piglins than it is about building or crafting, and as such it does not have a Creative Mode. After completing the campaign, you can still explore any world as long as you keep the save file, but there won't be much to do without piglins to fight.
Currently, there is no known way to dismiss a golem once you've summoned them. They'll remain until they are destroyed. You can send them into battle against a powerful enemy, or build a bridge over lava then remove it while your golems are standing on it.
Minecraft Legends is an open-world, real-time strategy game. Leading an army of golems, Creepers, and more, players explore a procedurally-generated Overworld and build structures to defend Villages from the invading piglins!
Your character doesn't do much damage in combat, so you'll have to send your allies into battle, choosing which mobs are best for each encounter. By gathering resources across the map, you can build better structures and summon more powerful troops!
The three Hosts who guide you through the world of Minecraft Legends - Knowledge, Foresight, and Action, are brought to life by talented professional voice actors. They are:
Knowledge is voiced by Elroy Powell, who also voices Jack in Dying Light 2. He's also appeared in Fighting With My Family.
Foresight is voiced by Pamela Nomvete, an Ethiopian television actress. You've probably also seen her as Jezzi in Andor.
Action is voiced by Scarlet Grace, who will be appearing in the 2023 Disney Plus film The Shepherd.
