What is Minecraft Legends?

Minecraft Legends is an open-world action-strategy game set in the Overworld, where you gather resources and lead allied mobs against invading piglins. You defend villages alone or in co-op; in PvP, you protect your settlement while attacking opponents’ settlements.

For you if...

+you enjoy leading mobs into tactical battles
+you want to defend villages alongside friends in co-op
+you like multiplayer matches built around attacking and defending settlements

Not for you if...

−you prefer a linear story over open-world battles
−you want direct combat without commanding allied units
