Developer Mojang and publisher Microsoft have shared the trailer for the latest update for cube-shaped sandbox Minecraft. Titled The Wild, it introduces players to the new biome set in the deep dark.
This new biome is full of different types of sculk blocks and a deafening silence. Explore the ancient cities and face off with the warden – blind but dangerous enemy that reacts to various vibrations.
“A warden is this unstoppable force of nature and a challenge that you must overcome in ways that you may not be used to in traditional Minecraft gameplay,” says Brandon “kingbdogz” Pearce, Vanilla gameplay developer. “It represents a new style of overwhelming obstacle, but if you’re able to outmanoeuvre it, you should be able to obtain some interesting rewards!”
“The reason we decided not to approach this new mob as a boss was because a boss is meant to be fought in combat and defeated. With the warden, we felt we had an opportunity to introduce a different, yet challenging gameplay that focused on stealth and sneaking. For some people, that might not be your sort of gameplay, but the great thing about Minecraft is that you have a choice in what mechanics and what content you want to engage in!”
