2023 is both an exciting and gently terrifying year for video games. Backlogs are expanding to frightening proportions, while the calendar is bursting at the seams, struggling to contain the seemingly ceaseless release cadence of new titles. A lot of great games are bound to be buried in the avalanche, but there's one game that deserves all of the attention it's getting (and more) — Minecraft Legends is almost here.
The latest expansion to the Minecraft universe represents a lot of firsts for the franchise and for Mojang Studios. It's an exciting blend of gameplay mechanics from multiple genres, garnering plenty of interest from gamers. I got the opportunity to preview Minecraft Legends for a few hours ahead of its release, and I'm more excited than ever for what could be one of the year's best games.
