Mojang has said it is not interested in building a Minecraft 2, so we should expect more branches out of the IP instead of a new base game. In 2020, Mojang would follow up Telltale with its own expansion, Minecraft Dungeons, a dungeon-crawler available on consoles and PC. Virtual reality versions of Minecraft are available on Oculus Rift, PlayStation and Microsoft HoloLens.īetween 20, Telltale Games launched Minecraft: Story Mode, which was the first attempt to stretch the IP beyond the sandbox experience. It also launched several forks of Minecraft, such as a free Chinese edition in 2016 with NetEase and an education edition in the same year.

With Microsoft at the helm, Mojang continued to expand the Minecraft universe. It has since gone on to acquire several game studios, including Double Fine Production, Compulsion Games, Bethesda Studios and Obsidian Entertainment. At the time, Microsoft was not as large of a gaming publisher and it wasn’t clear what Microsoft’s plans were for the game. In 2014, rumours of a potential Mojang IPO led to Microsoft acquiring the studio for $2.5 billion. As millions flocked to this new game, Mojang continued to add new elements to the base experience, enabling more complex creations by its users.
