Minecraft's creator, Markus "Notch" Persson, hinted at a potential Minecraft 2 in a recent social media poll. Let's delve into the details!
A Spiritual Successor in the Works?
Notch, via a poll on X (formerly Twitter), revealed he's developing a game blending roguelike elements (like ADOM) with tile-based first-person dungeon crawling (similar to Eye of the Beholder). However, he also expressed openness to creating a "spiritual successor" to Minecraft.
The poll overwhelmingly favored the Minecraft-inspired option, garnering 81.5% of over 287,000 votes. Given Minecraft's enduring popularity (45-50 million daily players), this isn't surprising.
Subsequently, Notch confirmed his seriousness, essentially declaring a "Minecraft 2" announcement. He acknowledged players' desire for a similar game and his own renewed passion for development. He emphasized that while he's open to either project, the strong preference for a Minecraft successor is a significant factor.
It's crucial to note that Notch sold Mojang (Minecraft's developer) and the IP to Microsoft in 2014. Therefore, any new project must avoid IP infringement. Notch assures he'll respect Mojang and Microsoft's work, avoiding any "sneaky" similarities.
Notch also voiced concerns about the challenges of creating spiritual successors, acknowledging their unpredictable nature. However, the public's enthusiasm and potential financial success have swayed his decision.
While awaiting Notch's potential "sequel," fans can anticipate Minecraft-themed amusement parks opening in the UK and US in 2026 and 2027, as well as a live-action film, "A Minecraft Movie," slated for release later in 2025.
