New updates for popular game Minecraft coming soon

With an aim to woo gamers, popular Microsoft-owned video game Minecraft has announced that it will soon get a new update — 1.20.

Four new features will be added to the next Minecraft update: camel mobs and hanging signs, chiselled shelves, chiselled bookshelves and bamboo crafting.

However, the overall goal of the update is to focus on “self-expression, representation, and storytelling”.

New ‘default skins’ have been released, giving users the option of playing with default skins, creating their own, or changing them up as they please. The company announced that the new default skins would be available in Minecraft starting November 29.

The team officially announced the new release ‘Of Minecraft Legends’, the spinoff of ‘Minecraft’ which will be launching in spring 2023.

Prior to the game’s release, the team showcased both a cinematic trailer and a gameplay demo.

‘Minecraft Dungeons’ will get spooky and some new multi-player in its upcoming update.

As the spooky season gets underway, some Halloween gear will be available, including the ‘Hungriest Horror Armor’ set.

Moreover, the multi-floor Tower mission will have a multiplayer mode in the future, and Season 3 of Dungeons will launch on October 19th with the theme ‘Fauna Faire’, which highlights pets and animals.

In the ‘Minecraft Marketplace’, there will be several new DLC titles. Batman is the latest big-name addition, featuring iconic comic book characters as well as a blocky representation Gotham City.

On October 18, Batman DLC will become available.
