Microsoft announced today at its Developer Direct showcase that Minecraft Legends will be released on April 18.

Minecraft Legends puts a more strategic spin on the popular block-based game. It will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Legends will be available as part of the Game Pass service.

Minecraft has had spin-offs before, including the Diablo-esque Minecraft Dungeons. The original has become one of the most popular games in the world. It has a large built-in audience, giving spin-offs like Legends a good chance of success.
