Notch, the creator of Minecraft, which changed the gaming world and gained a huge global fan base, has excited his fans with his latest announcement on social media. The community, which has been listening to Minecraft 2 rumours for years, can relive the spirit of this legendary production under a different name thanks to Notch’s new game.

Minecraft 2 Coming From Notch? Good news about the sequel

Microsoft, Sole Owner of Mine craft Brand

In 2014, with the acquisition of Mojang by Microsoft, the Minecraft name and all rights were taken over by the technology giant. Therefore, even if Notch develops a project based on the same game structure, he does not have the chance to use the name Minecraft 2. Notch’s announcement clearly shows that the new game will have the same feel even though it is not an official Minecraft sequel.

Notch states that his new project will take care to preserve Minecraft-like mechanics and its unique world. The term ‘spiritual sequel’ means that even though it does not officially carry the same brand, it can reintroduce its core gameplay principles, creativity-oriented structure and unique atmosphere to Minecraft fans.

Players Have High Expectations

Although the naming rights belong to Microsoft, it is rumoured that Notch’s own imagination and experience could lead to a new phenomenon. This game, which will be shaped around the theme of ‘unlimited creativity’ as in Minecraft, is expected to drag a large community behind it. Although the details on the subject are limited at the moment, Notch’s breaking his silence with such an ambitious project has aroused excitement in the gaming world.

Although Notch did not share any definite information about the name or release date of the new game, he confirmed in his social media post that the development process of the game has started. This project, which is an independent initiative from Microsoft, is expected to feature innovative ideas and simple but effective mechanics as in Minecraft.

As a result, the news that the developer who laid the foundation for Mine craft is working on a new ‘spiritual sequel’ is great news for those who love a universe dominated by virtual blocks and endless creativity. As more details are revealed in the coming period, Notch’s fans will continue to follow this mysterious project with curiosity.
