Minecraft is getting Batman DLC next week, including Gotham and many villainsHoly Blocks!
Holy Blocks!
I find I have next to no interest in the comingGotham Knights, but a blocky recreation of Gotham inMinecraft? Yeah, that’s cute. It’s part of what’s coming in the newly announced Batman DLC for Minecraft, as well as the ability to fight Batman’s rogue gallery including the Penguin, Poison Ivy and The Joker.Mojang announced the DLC in a segment during this evening’s Minecraft Live stream. You can watch the trailer, and a brief introduction from DC’s Jim Lee, at around the 1h 6m mark in the video below:Minecraft Live 2022Watch on YouTubeThat trailer says only that the DLC is “coming soon”, but the official Minecraft Twitter accountconfirmed its release dateas just three days from now on October 18th.To me, Minecraft is mostly aboutclimbing a big mountain in the rain, digging a small home into the side of that mountain, and then occasionally gazing at the horizon and sighing. But grappling around Gotham and biffing the Joker just seems like a fun lark, and I like the way they’ve translated a lot of the character designs. The Penguin in particular, with his protruding nose and big monocle, is just superb.This was just one small announcement among many larger announcements during Minecraft Live. There was alsoan extended look at Minecraft Legends, the spin-off strategy game; information on thenew creative options coming in Minecraft 1.2 next year; and a look atMinecraft Dungeons' Fauna Faire updateand its four player co-op roguelike mode.
