Developer Mojang has revealed the next instalment of its formerly annual Minecraft Live digital showcase will air on 28th September, marking the first edition to be broadcast following the studio’s recently revealed format changes.
More specifically, a “new take” on Minecraft Live will broadcast at 6pm BST/1pm EDT on Saturday, 28th September. It can be watched via the Minecraft website, YouTube, or Twitch, and promises “news about our games, content creators, and more.”
Notably, however, it won’t see the return of Mojang’s increasingly controversial
Mojang’s Minecraft Live makeover isn’t the only change in the works for the mega-popular survival game. The studio also recently confirmed sweeping changes to its content release schedule that’ll see the blockbusting sandbox adventure trade its traditional single summer update for multiple content drops throughout the year. This, it said, would help satisfying players’ desires for “new Minecraft content more often”.
Mojang’s first update for Minecraft following that announcement released earlier this week, bringing bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and a new experimental Bundles feature – letting players stack different blocks or items together in the same inventory slot to save space. That update was accompanied by the news Minecraft will be ditching PSVR support next year.
