The world of our favourite game has grown a little more recently, with the release of Minecraft Legends. It features a story, told through animated scenes at certain points in the game, that tells of an invasion of the Overworld by a piglin army using portals from the Nether.
Your character is then plucked from your stronghold by three strange ‘Hosts’ – Foresight, Action and Knowledge (our cover stars this month), the creators of the Overworld – who ask you to battle these dark forces. As the Overworld’s best hope, you journey through the biomes that you’ll recognise from the original game, defending villages, overcoming piglin strongholds, and destroying their portals along the way. But be careful, as horrible piglins and their hog masters – along with a myriad of other dangerous things – lurk in the shadows, ready to test your courage and skills!
All these dangers mean that you’ll need to learn how to make and control an army of ‘golems’, as well as use powerful new weapons – and even enlist inhabitants of the Overworld – to help your cause. It also demands that you make ‘Improvements’ to your building skills to turn the tide of the many battles you’ll face. While you can wield a mighty sword, and battle through obstacles and hordes of piglins alone, that will not be enough to save the day!
