Microsoft have finally revealed the release date for the highly anticipated game Minecraft on Xbox 360.
The hugely popular PC game will cost 1600 Microsoft Points if you want to get your hands on it, making it cheaper that the PC version. Also, Bloodforge, Fable Heroes, and Trials Evolution will also be available to buy around the same time period. Starting on April 18, players can download Trials Evolution for 1200 Microsoft Points, on April 25 Bloodforge for 1200 Microsoft Points and then on May 2 Fable Heroes clocks in at 800 Microsoft Points.
All four of these games, dubbed “Arcade Next,” by Microsoft also welcome the start of 400 Gamerscore for XBLA games.
The original version of Minecraft officially launched on PC last Autumn after a beta testing period. During that beta, the game quickly became a hit among PC gamers. The Xbox 360 version will feature the same brand of sandbox building gameplay along with new four player splitscreen.
Will you be getting your hands on it?
I personally cant wait. I only recently started playing Minecraft so i'm a bit of noob i guess but i'm having a lot of fun with it. I agree Oliver, it should be nice crafting using the Xbox controller.
I can't wait for this, although i am confused as to whether it will be as good as the PC version, I think it will be nice to be able to craft whilst using a controller, and talking on xbox live. Although mods, skins, and map downloads are pretty essential to the games longevity. At very least, the option to download maps, is essential i would say.
Really? 8-bit gfx in 2012? I'll pass this on man!
