“Minecraft 2” announcement from Notch: Is a new “spiritual sequel” coming after 15 years?

Notch, whose Java Edition version of Minecraft, which he developed in 2009, quickly became a gaming phenomenon and gained billions of dollars in value, announced that he was focusing on game development again after 15 years. In his statement on Twitter, “Maybe people really want a new game that’s a lot like the first game.” He stated that he could respond to his fans’ demands.

In fact, Notch said that he was having fun when starting the project and that he did not know exactly what kind of game he would make. However, he also stated that he organized a survey on social media to measure the interest of his fans. While Notch said spiritual sequels often seem “sad” and “old,” he said he’s open to a new project if fans show support.

He also emphasized that he appreciates the work done by Microsoft and the Mojang team and plans to make a game that will not overshadow their work. Despite this, Notch added that he did not give a guarantee that the game project would be completed:

“Given my own history, I’m not sure if the game can be completed. But I know I’m enjoying the process of developing a game again.”

Notch’s statements have caused great excitement among the fan base of a new “Minecraft-like” game. However, we can say that the future of the project depends on both Notch’s determination and the support of the community. Would you like to see a game that could be called “Minecraft 2”?
