As a fan of the popular game Minecraft, you're in for a treat! Not only is there a highly anticipated film adaptation in the works, but now Netflix has announced that they will be creating an animated series based on the beloved game. The streaming platform recently teased the show with a short trailer, promising that it will be "coming soon".
Despite being 15 years old, Minecraft remains as popular as ever. In fact, last year the developer Mojang proudly announced that they had sold over 300 million copies of the game, making it the best-selling video game of all time. With such immense success, it's no surprise that Netflix wants to hop on the trend of turning video games into hit TV shows and movies, following in the footsteps of popular titles like Fallout, The Last of Us, and even the Super Mario Bros.
The streaming giant has confirmed that the Minecraft animated series will be a collaboration between Netflix and Mojang, and will feature a brand new story with new characters. The teaser trailer, which is only 20 seconds long, shows off the iconic Creeper and the Nether, while also giving a glimpse of the Netflix "N" logo. However, there is no word yet on when the series will be released, or any other details about it.
But don't get too excited just yet. It seems like the series won't be coming out anytime soon, as the trailer only says "coming soon" and Netflix and Mojang have just confirmed that they are working on it. It's more likely that the Minecraft movie, which has already started filming and is set to be released in 2025, will come out first. The movie has already attracted some big names, with Jack Black as the lead role of Steve, and appearances from Jason Momoa and Kate McKinnon.
While we wait for more news on the animated series, there are plenty of other exciting things happening in the gaming world. The PS5 Slim has received another price cut, the highly anticipated PlayStation VR2 has a huge discount, and FIFA 2K25 is set to be released this year. Plus, there are 10 amazing tabletop games to look out for this summer. So keep an eye out for more gaming news and updates.
