What you need to know

  • Earlier this month, Mojang Studios announced a refresh for how it plans to approach development for the Minecraft franchise.
  • Now, we have a date for the first Minecraft Live show under this new strategy, and it’s only a few weeks away.
  • The next Minecraft Live airs on Sept. 28 and will include brand new updates for Minecraft and other new announcements for the franchise.

As a seasoned Minecraft player with countless hours spent mining, crafting, and exploring the pixelated world since its early beginnings, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Minecraft Live event on Sept. 28, 2024. The promise of new content updates, sneak peeks into the wider Minecraft universe, and interactions with the developers is music to my ears!


Minecraft is about to experience a fresh start, as suggested by its creators at Mojang Studios. Recently, they unveiled a novel approach for Minecraft’s development, featuring smaller and more frequent updates, along with two major Minecraft Live events every year to coincide with these updates. Now, we have the date for the initial one of these revamped Minecraft Live presentations.

Mojang announced that Minecraft Live will be back on September 28, 2024, starting at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time or 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and players can look forward to previewing entirely fresh, unseen Minecraft content for the first time.

The first look at future Minecraft updates

For quite some time now, Minecraft Live has been the most significant annual Minecraft event. However, Mojang Studios is introducing some changes to this format. Instead of just one yearly show, there will be two events held each year. These shows will be shorter in duration and primarily focus on the next six months of Minecraft updates. This means we can expect a glimpse into upcoming “game drops,” which are essentially smaller, themed content additions for Minecraft that are replacing the larger, annual updates from before.

With the fresh strategy, we can expect Minecraft to receive regular updates more often, with Mojang unveiling new content whenever it’s prepared. At this upcoming Minecraft Live event, Mojang has hinted at multiple releases for the Minecraft game, suggesting updates for the immediate future and a sneak peek into what follows. The broadcast might not solely focus on the original Minecraft game, as it’s also where Mojang plans to disclose fresh information about the broader Minecraft universe.

In summary, it’s certain that there will be new content updates for Minecraft, but the specific details are yet to be revealed. Additionally, we might get some insights into other aspects of the franchise, like the upcoming live-action Minecraft film and its intriguing, albeit somewhat infamous, first trailer.

After the Minecraft Live event, Mojang developers will stay to delve deeper into Minecraft’s development and demonstrate some of the newly unveiled content. While we can look forward to these insights, don’t anticipate groundbreaking announcements or revolutionary features that would drastically alter the Minecraft universe. Regrettably, there won’t be a Minecraft Live Mob Vote this year, as Mojang has decided to end the event following controversies.

The new Minecraft Live officially airs on Sept. 28, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET, and you’ll be able to stream it on Minecraft.net, YouTube, and Twitch in English with English Audio Descriptions, American Sign Language (ASL), and British Sign Language (BSL). After the show concludes, Mojang Studios will release translated recordings with Arabic (MSA), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Filipino, French, French (Canadian), German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Castilian Spanish, LATAM Spanish (Mexican), Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese subtitles.
