Markus Alexej Persson, also known as "Also Notch" and founder of Mojang Studios, earlier revealed that he will create a new work that inherits the spirit of Minecraft.
Since Markus Alexej Persson has left Mojang Studios, which he founded, and Mojang Studios was acquired by Microsoft as early as September 2014, Markus Alexej Persson can no longer continue to use the name "Minecraft" or similar naming methods to create games.
Therefore, if Markus Alexej Persson wants to launch a new game that inherits the spirit of "Minecraft", he will have to use a different name. For Markus Alexej Persson, this game will essentially be considered "Minecraft 2".
However, the details of this game have not been announced yet, and may be revealed in the near future.
I basically announced minecraft 2.
I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that's super similar to the first one, and I'm loving working on games again.
I don't super duper care which exactly game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know…
