Way back before Microsoft was shuttering game studios, canceling long-awaited projects, and laying off developers by the thousands, the optimistic among us had some hope that Xbox's acquisition spree would mean that we'd get some wild crossovers between beloved studios and the company's increasingly vast IP library. Maybe we'd get Double Fine's Banjo-Kazooie? id Software's StarCraft: Ghost revival? Obsidian finally getting the chance to make Fallout: New Vegas 2?
None of that ended up happening, of course, but what we are getting is Minecraft Blast, a mobile game built in collaboration between Mojang and Candy Crush developer King, which came under the Microsoft umbrella as part of the Activision Blizzard acquisition. As is often the case for mobile titles, this one quietly launched in a single test market – Malaysia – and the only info we have comes from a small official FAQ.
