Notch, the creator of Minecraft, has recently announced a spiritual successor to his classic survival game. The potential new game is being referred to as a spiritual successor due to its similarities to Minecraft.
In a thread on social media, Notch shared his thoughts on what he would rather work on next, with fans asked if they would prefer a traditional roguelike or a tile-based first-person dungeon crawler. He also mentioned the possibility of creating a new original game inspired by Minecraft.
Notch emphasized that any potential sequel to Minecraft would require Microsoft’s or Mojang’s involvement, and even then, he would need to work within their terms. However, if they were willing to collaborate, Notch stated he would be willing to make a new game inspired by Minecraft, but with his own twist.
This announcement has sparked speculation among fans about the potential sequel, which could potentially become the closest thing to a Minecraft 2 that fans ever get.
