This will be a game very unlike Minecraft. Its synopsis reads:

"The piglins’ Nether corruption is spreading across the Overworld, scorching everything it touches. Are you the hero who will protect this gentle land? Plan your strategy and face the piglins in epic battles – but be warned: they always fight back. Take on piglin bases by day and defend your allies after dusk. Explore lush biomes filled with treasures and perils, meet new friends, and reunite with familiar mobs. With the allays by your side, all that’s left to do is save the world."

Minecraft Legends will be available on the following consoles and services: Xbox and PC Game Pass, Windows, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation, Steam, as well as Nintendo Switch.

The price of the title will vary based on the device it's meant for. However, the cost should still be around $50 USD unless you have the Game Pass services. Then, it will be free.

The game will offer a multiplayer mode. It will also be cross-platform compatible, so every single gamer will be able to enjoy Minecraft Legends with anyone they want. The Minecraft Legends' FAQ has this to say about the multiplayer mode:

"Minecraft Legends includes online campaign co-op and competitive multiplayer options. Form valuable alliances with your friends and lead strategic battles to defend the Overworld together."

It is very likely that playing this title with friends will be similar to how it is in Minecraft Dungeons. This means that only a local split-screen or online mode will be available in this title. However, more will be known about the game when it is officially released next month.
