Developer Mojang has unveiled changes to Minecraft’s content release schedule that’ll see the blockbusting sandbox adventure trade its traditional single summer update for multiple content drops throughout the year.
In a blog post outlining the future of Minecraft’s development, Mojang said its new release model is designed to satisfying players’ desires for “new Minecraft content more often”, and will see content drops of varying sizes releasing “more frequently” each year.
Alongside more regular content releases for Minecraft, Mojang said it’s been focusing on “long-term initiatives to ensure we can continue to evolve [the game] long into the future”.
Something else set to receive a bit of a shake-up is Minecraft Live – Mojang’s livestream celebration of Minecraft.
