Minecraft Earth is coming
Just last month, Microsoft announced its new game of Minecraft Earth for Android and iOS platform. And from the 3rd to 7th of this month they are bringing that new game to demonstrate onstage the Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC) of Apple. In fact, this new Minecraft Earth game will be an AR game, somewhat similar to the Pokémon Go.
The Mojang studio of Microsoft has been working for months to develop this new game, in which players will have the ability to collect different materials to make huge Minecraft structures together with their friends. The vision is that you could sit at home and using your smartphone to create/ build something in Minecraft, then you drop it off the school so that your friends could see it together, in the same place. The ultimate goal of Microsoft here is to cover our world with Minecraft blocks.
The show
They are onstage to show off how this new game will work at the WWDC. In fact, this is the 1st time that Microsoft publicly demonstrate the gameplay. In the demo, two players were given the Minecraft objects to interact and control them together, they could even use it to kill chickens or skeletons. Moreover, with the feature of people inclusion on iOS, a player could even stand in the object.
At first, the players were given a small scale model on a table to play with. They presented the basic construction elements of Minecraft, with some side features while they were moving around the whole thing. But then thing got much more interesting when they scaled up the build to a much bigger space. The players walked around the whole large scale thing as if they are parts of the scene. Surely, the whole show is gimmicky, but it also is a big appeal to builders who want to see their creations coming to explorable, interactive, full-sized life.
They are planning to launch Minecraft Earth's beta in the summer of this year. They will officially release it after the testings.
