I’m surprised it took that long.

    Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

        No idea. Never played it, no idea when it came out, never cared for it. I don’t think it was necessarily a straight cut from one to the other but a gradual transition through various changes with the game and the company. I’d hazard a guess that this transition began before Story Mode though, even if it wasn’t as apparent at the time, as it is today.

    Natural next step, given the riveting narrative of the games. Truly a masterpiece in story telling.

    Real talk though, you haven’t lived until you played Minecraft in VR and looked an enderman in the eye. It hits on another level when it’s literal eye contact, like looking at the wrong guy on the bus and getting murdered for it.

    They REALLY missed the boat on this one. Maybe if it was 8 years ago. Nobody’s gonna care now. Minecraft is old and leans too hard on bedrock, nevermind that it was PC early adopters that made it what it is. This is the problem with success; it makes good indie stuff with potential into sold-out corporate trash. Happens all the time and Minecraft is no different. Eventually it’ll get sold off to some holding company in Romania or something and be deleted from the Internet.

      My kid is under 10 and absolutely adores all things Minecraft. He will be over the moon to hear this news. So will all his friends.
