Minecraft fans are celebrating the sandbox game’s 15th anniversary by interacting with its settings and characters Irl. A live event called Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue will bring the titular game to life when it premieres in Dallas on September 20.
Mojang Studios, which originally developed and released Minecraft, is putting on Villager Rescue alongside producer Experience Mod and creative agency Supply + Demand. (Microsoft acquired Mojang in 2014.)
Attendees will be whisked into a blocky world for an experience that will recreate the first few hours of Minecraft. Each one-hour session will begin with woodchopping and crafting before continuing through “multiple Minecraft biomes” to complete a story-driven quest.
Minecraft has been around so long that an event like Villager Rescue may seem passé at first glance. But the game still has a devoted following on platforms like YouTube, and it is experiencing something of a renaissance during its 15th year of activity.

Obsidian Entertainment first unveiled Avowed with a mysterious CGI trailer back in the 2020 Xbox Games Showcase, and the immediate ensuing comparisons to Bethesda’s iconic The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim were swift and plentiful.
The similarities of the first-person perspective, dark medieval setting, and magic-based combat mechanics fueled a lot of speculation over the scope of Obsidian’s highly anticipated project, and a 2023 interview with studio CEO Feargus Urquhart tells us exactly what to expect from Avowed, which is slated to release this year.
Even Obsidian Wanted Avowed To Be Its Skyrim This shot screams Skyrim, but CGI does have a tendency to overhype fans | Obsidian
Speaking with PC Gamer, Urquhart confirmed the initial inspiration for Avowed. “Originally we were pitching, in essence, our Skyrim,” commented Urquhart. This revelation barely came as a surprise, owing to the visual similarities in the trailer, suggesting a huge open world and first-person combat.

Netflix is developing a new animated series based on the hugely popular Minecraft sandbox game. Few details are known, but according to Netflix, the series “will feature an original story with new characters that shows the Minecraft world in a new light.”
The announcement comes on the 15th anniversary of the video game.
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, pixelated, procedurally generated, three-dimensional world with virtually infinite terrain. Players can discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and machines. Depending on game mode, players can fight hostile mobs, as well as cooperate with or compete against other players in the same world.
Netflix will co-produce the CG-animated series with Mojang Studios, the Swedish developer of the game.
Canadian animation studio WildBrain will handle animation.

It’s recently been reported that the freeform game of Minecraft will be adapted into a feature film. The movie is set to be an animated adaptation with an impressive voice cast that features Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, Jermaine Clement, and Emma Myers signed on. The movie is directed by Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess. Hess wasn’t the first director to have been tied to a Minecraft movie, as previous iterations found Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney and Peter Sollett attached. At one point, Steve Carell was linked to a voice role.

Plot details are not yet known, but according to Netflix, the series “will feature an original story with new characters, showing the world of ‘Minecraft’ in a new light.”
The series, which will be CG-animated, is in development with WildBrain, the Canadian studio behind animated Netflix projects including “Sonic Prime,” “Ninjago: Dragons Rising” and “Carmen Sandiego.” In 2022, Netflix debuted a revival of WildBrain’s “Johnny Test,” which originally ran on the WB and later on Cartoon Network for six seasons from 2005 to 2014.

Jeopardy! fans have been getting tired of bad gameplay lately. However, after this past week’s shows, they have another reason to complain. An answer given by defending champion Amar Kakirde was wrong, and Ken Jennings called it wrong. However, production reversed the decision during the commercial break.
Here is what fans had to say about the changing of the result to what was considered a “wrong answer.”
Fans Angry That Amar Kakirde Got Call Reversed
Amar Kakirde has been the most recent Jeopardy! champion, but one of his answers has caused controversy among the fans. This is because even Ken Jennings told him he was wrong. However, the production team reversed the decision and gave it to Amar anyway.
Amar Kakirde chose the category “Date of Birth” for $400. The clue said, “Jan. 3, 2009, with the mining of the Genesis block.” The answer was “What is Bitcoin?” No one said that.

Upon its introduction in 2018, Xbox’s Game Pass subscription service revolutionized the games industry, offering players access to a vast, Netflix-esque library of games for a reasonable monthly fee. Several publishers, and even direct competitor Sony, aped the idea for their own platforms.
As consumer-friendly as it seems, though, the service’s initial meteoric rise has plateaued over the past few years, with it even missing out on its growth targets consecutively. Microsoft recently reaffirmed its commitment to the service, but confidence in its sustainability remains shaky.

Universal and Illumination’s smash The Super Mario Bros Movie finishes No. 1 to make it a wrap on Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament for 2023. While the industry is still coming out of Covid and the aftermath of the strikes, there’s no question about the major motion picture studios’ embrace of the theatrical downstream model; steamers such as Amazon and Apple realize the power of it too.
Last year’s wild ride saw the buckling of superhero movies, though Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse underscored fanboys’ hunger for something different in the genre. The year also showed that longtime box office emperor Disney can lose its clothes sometimes — in 2023 it was its overextension and hasty execution of IP Wish, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion and The Marvels. Barbie and Oppenheimer, meanwhile, showed that perhaps the biggest box office weekends are best programmed with two tentpoles in the heart of summer.

Minecraft is universally recognized, but its accessibility on the PS5 leaves much to be desired. Minecraft hit the ground running as an indie game developed by Markus Persson, a.k.a. Notch. Minecraft’s inception traces back to 2009 when Notch started its development and released an early version to the public later that year. The initial alpha version of Minecraft was made available to play for free, paving the way for its success through organic growth instead of relying on traditional advertising, especially in its early stages. The game raced forward as Notch kept tweaking and expanding it, consistently incorporating player feedback

Fortnite is undoubtedly one of the best battle royale games of recent times. Launched back in 2017, the popularity and hype of the game continue seven years later in 2024 as well, thanks to the developer’s efforts to keep the game updated and fresh.
The game has about six game modes, among which the battle royale mode is hands-down the most sought-after. One of the brilliant minds behind the mode was the director Donald Mustard. The mode involves 100 players skydiving onto an island and hunting for gear to defend themselves from fellow players. Players can either choose to fight alone or with up to four other players.

Mustard just last year stepped down from Epic Games. He later spilled the beans on his exit and the concept of Fortnite Battle Royale mode during an interview.

Someone has been working for several years to make Disneyland very accessible. It wasn’t the Walt Disney Company or Bob Iger. It was a small group of friends dedicated to replicating the park in the world of Minecraft!
With ticket prices soaring, sometimes you want to experience Walt’s magic without going broke. The virtual Disneyland delivers that special feeling; you don’t have to deal with the crowds!
We learned via BoingBoing that YouTuber Mouskegamer created the blocky replica of the Happiest Place on Earth. According to the walk-through’s description, the creator finalized the digital Disneyland in five years. This certainly looks, sounds, and feels like a labor of love:
“I’ll always cherish the time I had on the server and what it meant to so many people around the world. I’m unbelievably lucky to have created something I can say I’m this proud of.

Minecraft, one of the most popular games ever, has a relatively chill community, which is only natural considering the nature of the game—or so it was assumed, until a recent Reddit post came up, complaining about the tryhard nature of some players.
The post has also made some interesting points about ‘cheating’ in video games, and whether it really matters sometimes.
One Minecraft Player is Tired of People Debating About Cheaters
Is there really a ‘right’ way to play Minecraft?
A recent Reddit post has sparked a debate among Minecraft players. One user, calling themselves a “salty old timer,” took a stand against a recent trend on the subreddit where people flood it with questions about whether certain actions in the game constitute cheating.
You’re not cheating.

There are few creators, directors, or responsible executives of big gaming companies that can say that they won fans and players hearts; one of these personalities is Todd Howard. This man was behind several of the most successful games developed by Bethesda, like Skyrim, Fallout, and many more.
In an old interview, Howard talked about how to make games for everyone, including non-gamers. He talked about how difficult this is and how only a few titles have achieved this goal. He also mentioned another big IP that achieved this, aside from the latest, The Elder Scrolls.

In the past two decades, video games have drastically changed. With new generations of consoles, video games have improved a lot and have made a lot of money for the studios. When talking about the highest-selling video games in the last decade (2010-2020), one may assume that Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 took the crown, however, there is one game that put GTA 5 in the second position.
Minecraft is the highest-selling video game of all time
Mojang Studios’ 2011 sandbox game, Minecraft, is the highest-selling video game of all time with a whopping 300 million sales since its release. Thanks to a multi-platform release, Minecraft catered to all kinds of gamers, providing them with a fun co-op survival experience. Not even games like Tetris, Pubg, or Mario Kart could dethrone Minecraft. With 300 million copies sold, Minecraft is expected to hold this spot for a very long time as the game continues to sell copies.

However, a deeper look at the origins of those genres often reveals fascinating facts about the evolution of art and entertainment.

Common Sense Networks is bringing additional safeguards to ad campaigns on platforms like Roblox and Fortnite. The firm known for evaluating media based on its suitability for children has teamed up with publisher Super League for a global partnership centered around kid-friendly branded content.
A press release describes the deal as “a new initiative that enables brands to connect with young audiences on a global scale in safe and suitable ways across major gaming and video platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite Creative, Minecraft, YouTube, TikTok, and beyond.” Those hubs are flourishing thanks to the game-creation capabilities they offer and the monetization opportunities they present.
As Roblox in particular becomes a touchstone of Gen Alpha culture, brands are figuring out how to reach young consumers on the platform. Some advertisers, such as Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media, have found that Roblox-based campaigns deliver the same level of buzz as a $60 million initiative.
