The wacky world of Adventure Time is headed to all versions of Minecraft. Mojang has cleverly teased the game’s next mash-up pack with a recreation of the Adventure Time intro made entirely in Minecraft.
There’s no word on just when Jake the Dog and Finn the Human will be busting into the blocky world of Minecraft, but the land of Ooo will arrive sooner rather than later. The Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, and Adventure Time’s other candy creatures and its cadre of princesses are presumably on the way as well.
Look for the Adventure Time mash-up pack to hit the Minecraft on Pocket, Windows 10 and console editions relatively soon.
Minecraft is getting Adventure Time‘d in a delightful mash-up pack that turns the blocky world into a brighter, more Adventure Time-y world for a blocky Finn and Jake to explore.
The announcement video above shows off what the new Minecraft Adventure Time mash-up pack will look like while mirroring the show’s opening theme. We also get a glimpse at some of the series’ most popular characters in Minecraft form: Finn, Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, and the Ice King.
The pack, which doesn’t have a price or a release date yet, is coming to mobile, console, and Windows 10 versions of Minecraft “soon.”
In what seems like a pretty logical team-up, kid-friendly animation series Adventure Time and perennial sandbox fave Minecraft are teaming up.Ah, who am I kidding. I’ll get this too.
Minecraft’s Adventure Time Mash-Up will include themed blocks, music, character skins and more. You’ll be able to play as Jake, Finn and countless others. (Tree Trunks not yet confirmed.)
There’s no word on a release date yet, but the pack will be coming to all console editions of Minecraft, plus Windows 10 and mobile. Redododiculous.
If you think about it, LEGO bricks and Minecraft are actually very similar. While Minecraft is the ultimate digital sandbox for building whatever your imagination allows, LEGO serves a similar function in the real, fleshy part of existence. LEGOs are basically Minecraft IRL, and now, the two entities have partnered to bring us just that: A LEGO set based on the creeper-filled world of Minecraft. Take a look at this:
This isn’t the first LEGO/Minecraft crossover that’s been released, but it sure is the biggest. The 2,863-piece Mountain Cave set is 12 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, so it’s a substantial setup. It also comes with two minifigs (Steve and Alex), as well as a cave spider, a wolf and baby wolf, a slime and two small slimes, two bats, a zombie, an enderman, a skeleton, a sheep, and a charged Creeper.
There’s a ton going on in the environment itself as well: there’s a functional minecart track with two minecarts and a redstone-powered minecart elevator, a revolving cave-spider spawner, and easy access to this thing’s interior so you can look at all the details up close.
The only bad thing about this is that you’re going to have to do a bit of waiting before you can get your hands on it… and perhaps a bit of saving: It will be available in LEGO stores and the LEGO online store starting July 1 for $250.
Are you going to be adding this one to your collection, or are you tentative to spend the cost of a brand new Playstation 4 on a LEGO set? Let us know what you think in the comments!
There’s going to be some ‘free’ all over Xbox One and 360 Live this weekend, specifically between May 18 to 21. During that period you can play online without Gold membership, and there’s also a limited time unlock of Minecraft: Xbox One Edition to play.
To get involved with the Multiplayer All-Access event you just need to log in, and obviously download Minecraft if you haven’t already. Then enjoy a weekend of free multiplayer and block building. After it’s over you’ll have to cough up the cash or go do something else.
Still, if you’ve not paid to try Live before it should give you a taster, and if you’ve not played Minecraft yet then… wait, how have you not played Minecraft yet? How is that possible?
Considering Minecraft has sold an outrageous 121 million copies as of February 2017, chances are good that you’ve already tried it once or twice. But if you want to take a spin in Minecraft on Xbox One, that version is free to play this weekend. In addition, the Xbox Live online service is currently free for everyone on every game until May 21.
If you own an Xbox One, you can now download Minecraft for no cost from the Xbox store. In addition, players who don’t subscribe to Xbox Live have the opportunity to play any multiplayer game on Xbox One or Xbox 360.
There’s only a short window to check out Minecraft or play with your friends; once it hits 11:59 PT on Sunday, May 21, you’ll have to shell out $20 for the game and $60 per year for Xbox Live.
