Original Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has stated on Twitter that his next game will be a Minecraft spiritual successor and that he "basically announced minecraft 2." Notch had run a Twitter poll asking followers to weigh in on whether he should keep his in-development project's current direction, or put it on the shelf to make something more like Minecraft.
Notch's in-development project was a roguelike spin on classic first person dungeon crawlers like Wizardry, Grimrock, or Eye of the Beholder. On New Year's Day, Notch put out a poll asking followers whether he should keep going in that direction, or switch gears. "I gots to thinking that maybe there are people who like my work but do not share my taste in retro nostalgia and would prefer for me to make a spiritual successor thing to Minecraft," he wrote. "And I mean sure, I'd take that cash."
