''Minecraft Legends'' is an action strategy video game that has strategic elements at its core, with [[Game mechanics|mechanics]] inspired by [[action games]]. It is explored from a third-person perspective. The game features both cooperative and [[competitive multiplayer]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gematsu.com/2022/06/action-strategy-game-minecraft-legends-announced-for-ps5-xbox-series-ps4-xbox-one-switch-and-pc|title=Action strategy game Minecraft Legends announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC|first=Sal|last=Romano|work=Gematsu|date=June 12, 2022|accessdate=September 14, 2022|archive-date=June 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613090709/https://www.gematsu.com/2022/06/action-strategy-game-minecraft-legends-announced-for-ps5-xbox-series-ps4-xbox-one-switch-and-pc|url-status=live}}</ref> It also has a [[PvP]] mode that allows players to compete with each other.
''Minecraft Legends'' is a story that is grounded as a legend lost to time that is now only remembered in a powerful tale passed down from [[Minecraft Legends:Villager|villager]] to villager. The legend itself tells of a great hero who saved the [[Overworld]] by uniting every mob against an invasion by the ravenous [[Minecraft Legends:Piglins|piglins]] before their [[Nether]] corruption devours the Overworld and everything with it.<ref name="mcl" />


==Plot==
{{Q|'''MINECRAFT LEGENDS''' – Stories are powerful. Legends teach us about what has passed and what might have been. They create a bridge between us and generations long past as well as the ones to come. Starting today, we want to tell you another story – about peaceful coexistence, where adventurers did not get chills when hearing hissing, groans, or the clatter of bones. And the moment when a terrifying force threatened to corrupt this idyllic world forever. This is a story about the Overworld of Minecraft Legends. |Cristina Anderca<ref name="mcl">{{Mcnet|minecraft-legends|Minecraft Legends Announcement Article|June 12, 2022}}</ref>}}
''Minecraft Legends'' takes place in the ''Minecraft'' universe during a war between the Overworld and the piglins from the Nether. The game begins with the player mining in a cave, then they are greeted by 3 people: Action, Knowledge, and Foresight. They persuade the player to help them after their world after a war breaks out between the Nether and the Overworld. The player is then transported to the world. After completing a tutorial, the player must save a few villages being invaded by piglins. Then, the player has to destroy 3 nether outposts that are preparing to invade a village. After that, the player must destroy a total of 9 portals from 3 different sections of the world, "Horde of the Spore," "Horde of the Hunt," and "Horde of the Bastion." Each section with their respective bosses that the player must defeat, "The Devourer" from "Horde of the Spore," "The Beast" from "Horde of the Hunt," and "The Unbreakable" from "Horde of the Bastion." Once the player destroys all of the portals and all of the bosses, the player must fight, "The Great Hog." "The Great Hog" is the final boss of the game. Once the player defeats The Great Hog, there is a big celebration in the Overworld over their win over the piglins.

== Gameplay ==
''Minecraft Legends'' began development in 2018. The game was announced during the [[Xbox]] and [[Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda]] Games Showcase on June 12, 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carpenter |first=Nicole |date=June 12, 2022 |title=Minecraft gets a strategy spinoff, Minecraft Legends |url=https://www.polygon.com/23164672/microsoft-rts-real-time-strategy-game-announcement |access-date=June 12, 2022 |website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] |language=en-US |archive-date=June 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220612190703/https://www.polygon.com/23164672/microsoft-rts-real-time-strategy-game-announcement |url-status=live }}</ref> After the show, a trailer on the ''Minecraft'' [[YouTube]] channel confirmed additional platforms.<ref name="announcement">{{Citation |title=Minecraft Legends – Announce Trailer |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSjZqV-YK8 |access-date=June 12, 2022 |publisher=Minecraft Channel |language=en |archive-date=June 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613014348/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSjZqV-YK8 |url-status=live }}</ref> It is developed by series creators [[Mojang Studios]] in collaboration with [[Blackbird Interactive]], a team founded by former [[Relic Entertainment]] employees, who are best known for developing the [[real-time strategy]] video game series ''[[Homeworld]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Middler |first=Jordan |date=June 12, 2022 |title=Strategy game Minecraft Legends announced for release in 2023 |url=https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/strategy-game-minecraft-legends-has-been-announced-for-release-in-2023/ |access-date=June 12, 2022 |website=[[Video Games Chronicle]] |language=en-GB |archive-date=June 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613042509/https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/strategy-game-minecraft-legends-has-been-announced-for-release-in-2023/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
The gameplay of ''Minecraft Legends'' is that of a real-time strategy game. While strategy is the core of the game, some of its mechanics were inspired by action games. In the game, the player takes on the third person perspective of a great hero who must defend settlements & villages, create outposts, make allies with mobs, and fight hordes of [[Minecraft Legends:Piglins|piglins]] to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. The game allows the player character to direct and give directions to allies. <ref name="mcl" /> The game includes random world generation that is different from ''Minecraft'' with mobs and biomes. The player character’s primary objective is to gather resources in the world to build defenses against the piglins. The game supports multiplayer gameplay with up to 8 players, 4 on each team, where they can either challenge other player characters for a battle or team up to defeat opponents.<ref name="mcl-steam">[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928870 Minecraft Legends on Steam]</ref><ref name="mcl-eshop">[https://nintendo.com/store/products/minecraft-legends-switch Minecraft Legends for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site]</ref>

''Minecraft Legends'' began first as an idea before Mojang Studios decided to collaborate with a Vancouver-based studio called [[Blackbird Interactive]] (who also developed ''[[Minecraft Earth]]'') to develop the game as a ''Minecraft'' strategy game.<ref name="mcl" /> In Minecraft Legends, maps are made procedurally. Land and resources must be used to beat the opposing team.

Revision as of 21:19, 26 October 2023

Template:Italic title Template:Program

Minecraft Legends is an action strategy video game released on April 18, 2023, developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, and published by Xbox Game Studios on Windows and Xbox, and Mojang Studios on other platforms.

Plot

File:Minecraft Legends key art.png

Minecraft Legends is a story that is grounded as a legend lost to time that is now only remembered in a powerful tale passed down from villager to villager. The legend itself tells of a great hero who saved the Overworld by uniting every mob against an invasion by the ravenous piglins before their Nether corruption devours the Overworld and everything with it.<ref name="mcl" />

Gameplay

The gameplay of Minecraft Legends is that of a real-time strategy game. While strategy is the core of the game, some of its mechanics were inspired by action games. In the game, the player takes on the third person perspective of a great hero who must defend settlements & villages, create outposts, make allies with mobs, and fight hordes of piglins to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. The game allows the player character to direct and give directions to allies. <ref name="mcl" /> The game includes random world generation that is different from Minecraft with mobs and biomes. The player character’s primary objective is to gather resources in the world to build defenses against the piglins. The game supports multiplayer gameplay with up to 8 players, 4 on each team, where they can either challenge other player characters for a battle or team up to defeat opponents.<ref name="mcl-steam">Minecraft Legends on Steam</ref><ref name="mcl-eshop">Minecraft Legends for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site</ref>

Minecraft Legends began first as an idea before Mojang Studios decided to collaborate with a Vancouver-based studio called Blackbird Interactive (who also developed Minecraft Earth) to develop the game as a Minecraft strategy game.<ref name="mcl" /> In Minecraft Legends, maps are made procedurally. Land and resources must be used to beat the opposing team.

Bosses

Minecraft Legends has a total of 4 bosses. 3 of them appear after you clear all of the bases of each horde, and one appears after you defeat the other three. They are:

The Beast

The Beast is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Hunt. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Hunt bases are destroyed. It is very fast and highly destructive with it tearing through structures. Sometimes at night, it will launch an attack on a random village.

The Devourer

The Devourer is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Spore. It has lots of overgrowth and fungi growths coming off its body and resemble that of a zombie-like life form. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Spore bases are destroyed.

The Unbreakable

The Unbreakable is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Bastion. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Bastion bases are destroyed. The Unbreakable is a large Piglin with lots of gold trimming, including a golden Mohawk, shoulder guard, and gauntlet. It also carries a large pack on its back which acts as a flamethrower. It also has an iron jaw.

The Great Hog

The Great Hog is the final boss enemy of Minecraft Legends and the leader of all three Piglin hordes. It can be fought after all of the hordes are defeated. This boss will appear at The Well of Fate. It has red skin, a magic weapon in one hand, a spear in the other. Defeating it will complete the game and will result in all remaining piglins and their structures disappearing.
