Minecraft’s future plans

Mojang Studios made some major announcements that focused on upcoming releases, the addition of new mobs, the long-term goals of the game, and something great for PlayStation 5 users. Let’s take a look at all of them.

Starting with the first one, the developer mentioned that they will release multiple free game drops throughout the year. Although they did not specify what these would be, they did mention these would add new features to the game. So we can expect more frequent updates of varying sizes instead of one or two additions every year.

The second announcement stated that the developer would be working on long-term initiatives. While this is vague, it does indicate that there might be many updates down the road, adding major features to the game. So the future of Minecraft is safe and bright, unlike MC Dungeons and Legends.

The third announcement had something for Minecraft Live, an annual event that discusses the future of the game along with mob votes and update announcements. From now on, there will be two more shows focusing on the state of the game.

Mojang Studios will also be retiring the mob vote that allowed players to select which new mob they wanted in the game. This could connect to the frequent updates that the developers have planned. But we need to await further updates with more details.

Finally, a native version of the game is coming for PlayStation 5, finally. This means that the game would be able to utilize the DualSense controller with its adaptive triggers.
