Get ready, as the premiere of “A Minecraft Movie” draws near, Microsoft and Mojang are leaving no stone unturned to grab players’ attention! In celebration of the movie launch, a free DLC has been unveiled for Minecraft. This exciting expansion takes you to an arcade where you can embody characters from the film, and enjoy 3 new mini-games: Elytra Race, First Night Survival, and Mansion Stealth. Additionally, the game’s website hints that a special trophy will be unlocked by players who manage to break all records!
The game’s arcade environment appears to pay homage to Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, portrayed by Jason Momoa in A Minecraft Movie. In the movie, Garrett is depicted as a legendary ’80s gamer, but he’s quite amateurish when it comes to Minecraft. The film trailers emphasize Garrett’s competitive gaming history, with visual elements reminiscent of Billy Mitchell, a real-life gaming record holder. Given this background, using an arcade setting for the DLC fits perfectly. You can watch the DLC trailer below.
Thus far, the DLC appears quite impressive! The characters closely resemble their film counterparts, with striking similarities particularly noticeable in Jack Black’s and Jason Momoa’s representations. The three mini-games also seem to effectively capture key scenes from the movie, without giving away the plot or spoiling its surprises. This makes it an enjoyable experience for players either after watching the movie or as a precursor to its release. Currently, you can get this DLC within Minecraft, and you can claim it right here.
As a hardcore Minecraft gamer, it’s no secret that this iconic game holds a special place in my heart. It’s the best-selling video game of all time, an achievement that makes me proud to be part of its community. Yet, I can’t help but wonder if its success in the digital world will somehow transfer to the big screen with the upcoming A Minecraft Movie.
Recently, there have been several initiatives to pique our interest in this film, one such effort being this DLC that’s now available. Not only that, but there’s also a cool promotional item up for grabs for those who decide to buy tickets. And if that wasn’t enough, starting this week, McDonald’s is launching an A Minecraft Movie promotion. Expect to find both physical toys and in-game DLC as part of the deal!
I can’t wait to see how these efforts will translate into a captivating movie experience that will live up to the magic of Minecraft. Fingers crossed, fellow gamers!
On April 4th, the long-awaited “Minecraft” movie is set to hit theaters. Soon, we’ll find out how well it resonates with both dedicated fans and casual viewers. Given Microsoft’s plans to expand its Xbox franchises into TV shows and films, a successful debut could pave the way for more adaptations in the future.
