'Minecraft Legends' Rolls Out Snow vs Snouts Event, Content Development Comes To An End

by Rainier on Jan. 10, 2024 @ 9:07 a.m. PST

Minecraft Legends is an all-new action strategy game where players will discover a gentle land, both familiar and mysterious, full of lush biomes and rich resources.

Discover the mysteries of Minecraft Legends and lead your allies in heroic battles to defend the Overworld from the destructive piglins.

Explore a beautiful land, both familiar and mysterious, full of diverse life, lush biomes, and rich resources. But this paradise is on the brink of destruction – the piglins have arrived, threatening to corrupt the Overworld. Inspire unexpected friends to form valuable alliances and lead them in strategic battles to protect their home.

It´s up to the player to make unexpected friends (including some classic mobs you’ll recognize from Minecraft) to form valuable alliances and lead the way into strategic battles against the fierce invaders from the Nether. Take the fight to the piglins before their Nether corruption devours the Overworld!

The game will have a very exciting campaign that will introduce many surprises for both new and seasoned Minecraft player alike. And for those looking to play with friends, there will be online campaign co-op and competitive multiplayer.

In the northern hemisphere, we’re deep into the snowy season, when your only chance at staying vertical on the street is to wear spiky shoes. And when I say deep, I mean literally snowed in. Inspired by our frosty adventures, this month we’re bringing you Snow vs Snouts, a Lost Legend in which you get to wield a beefed-up redstone launcher in a winter wonderland! 

Snow vs Snouts brings a brand-new combat style to the game, in which you focus on destroying piglin bases from afar, using an enhanced version of the powerful redstone launcher. Compared to its base game counterpart, the launcher you wield in this Lost Legend has a faster cooldown and (de)construction rate for more mobility and greater attack power. Plus, it has a knockback effect that makes blasting piglins with it really, really satisfying.

Since launch, we’ve been working hard together with Blackbird Interactive to bring improvements and new features to Minecraft Legends based on your feedback. With Minecraft Legends, we took a completely new approach to gameplay, so much so that we had to make up a new genre for it (kind of): action strategy. Our community has always helped us shape our games and that’s something we value greatly, especially when launching a completely new game. 

The latest title update brought the fearless frog, witches, clangers, air choppers and a host of enhancements to the game’s mechanics, making the battles in Minecraft Legends even more intense. And, thanks to your input, we’ve made various tweaks to the gameplay and interface, from enhanced pathfinding to a more comprehensive Battle View UI. 

Since launch, we've listened to community feedback and implemented a series of changes and tweaks to make the game better. With that complete, we're now going to take a step back from development. While we won’t be releasing any new content (i.e. updates, Lost Legends, or Marketplace DLC) for Minecraft Legends, the fun doesn't stop here. We'll continue having a blast playing the game alongside our community because those rowdy piglins are showing no signs of slowing down. Plus, we’re leaving you one last freebie: the Bright-Eyed Hero skin, which you can claim now on Minecraft Legends Marketplace. Illuminate your path forward and continue fighting the good fight! 

Our existing Lost Legends challenges will remain available for free, and you’ll still be able to reap the rewards if you claim victory. We will of course continue to offer technical support to players, and we won’t be removing any functionalities or features from the game. PvP and co-op will also remain fully functional, so you can continue playing whether you prefer to take on the piglins by yourself or battle alongside (or against) friends.  

Thank you for following along this heroic journey and helping us make Minecraft Legends the game it is today. With the support of our team, our partners, and the Minecraft community, we’re going to continue exploring the types of games we're passionate about and bringing new experiences to the Minecraft universe. Together, we united the Overworld, made some adorably scary friends, and most importantly, showed those piglins that they messed with the wrong dimension, again and again. Keep your banners raised because the Overworld will always need a hero! 

Minecraft Legends is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for console and PC (Steam).
