Post-launch support for Minecraft Legends officially ends

Following the overwhelming success of Minecraft, we have seen the team at Mojang expand the IP outwards into other gaming genres. One such project was Minecraft Legends – a real-time strategy game featuring familiar Minecraft elements. Despite having launched less than a year ago, support for the game has now officially ended.

Making the announcement on their blog, the team at Mojang detailed this final update – Lost Legends: Snow vs Snouts. With that, the team also revealed that support for the game has officially ended, saying:

“Since launch, we've listened to community feedback and implemented a series of changes and tweaks to make the game better. With that complete, we're now going to take a step back from development.”

They continued, “While we won’t be releasing any new content (i.e. updates, Lost Legends, or Marketplace DLC) for Minecraft Legends, the fun doesn't stop here. We'll continue having a blast playing the game alongside our community because those rowdy piglins are showing no signs of slowing down.”

Though it may not have had as long of a support cycle as something like Minecraft Dungeons – which recently saw its support end after a solid 3 and a half years – not every game needs to be a live service title, and so hopefully those who enjoy playing Minecraft Legends continue to do so.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
