Initially, known as ‘The Avengers Project’ back when it was revealed in 2017, the first trailer showcased by Square Enix came with the hashtag #REASSEMBLE and featured remnants of the main Avengers – Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Bruce Banner.

Earlier this year we had a chance to chat with Renato Orellana from Petroglyph at EGX Rezzed about their upcoming title set in the Conan Exiles universe, titled Conan Unconquered. Now it’s out and I stand by what I said at the beginning of April: This.is.awesome! So every time I talk about this game I […] The post Conan Unconquered: The Evolution of RTS appeared first on Green Man Gaming Blog. Continue reading...
The Elder Scrolls Online is heading to cat-town, Elsweyr is the latest expansion to the long-running MMO and if you pre-purchased you can play it right now. For twenty five years the Elder Scrolls series has taken us to many different places in Tamriel (and beyond). On the surface the series may appear to be […] The post Heading Elsweyr: The weirdness of the Elder Scrolls appeared first on Green Man Gaming Blog. Continue reading...
Cosplay is a craft, an amazing craft that allows us as gamers to live as our favorite characters for just a little while. It’s the ultimate escape. Just like we escape into video game worlds when we sit down to play, these incredibly talented people bring those worlds a little closer to us and make […] The post The best of Cosplay from London Comic Con appeared first on Green Man Gaming Blog.

We are happy to introduce the first (and final?) snapshot of Minecraft 1.11.1!!!!11oneone! This patch is mainly focused on fixing more bugs, but also contains a number of minor features just in time for the Holidays. In particular, there is a new use for the fireworks, but remember to be careful when handling explosives. There is also a new (potentially controversial) change to the combat mechanics. Without revealing what it is, you will most definitely notice the difference when you try out the snapshot. We anticipate much feedback. Continuing on the combat system, there is a new sword enchantment, and Mending is no longer compatible with Infinity on bows. And finally, you can now recycle many tools and items in the furnace. The...
Ah, Friday. For many, this signals the start of two free days to kick back and play their favorite games. To help you out with that, we’ve put some new maps on Minecraft Realms for PC, and have brought back some old favorites as well. Whether you’d like to quietly admire new builds by yourself, or frenetically compete with a group of friends, we’ve got something for everyone! Hot Potato by Team Cryus Gather your friends and grab a potato! Hot Potato is the kind of sport where you don’t want to be left holding the ball. Keep your eyes peeled for any agitators rushing you with a spud, and if you get hit, mash your mouse until you pass it off to someone else. These are exploding tubers, so toss them before they detonate! Vaslen by...
What a long way we’ve come! At its inception, Pocket Edition was little more than an experiment by mega-brained Mojang coder, Aron Nieminen. It was pretty bare bones - just the most minimal Minecrafty features in mobile form, hammered together in a mere three months. As Aron says: “It wasn’t even supposed to have multiplayer at first, and the first internal version only had an ASCII renderer!” It’s since grown into one of our most popular versions of Minecraft, with over 40 million players, who are now able to enjoy the rich features of redstone, join each other on Realms, and across platforms, race each other on pigback, wail on witches and - with the upcoming Ender Update - battle the ultimate boss: The Ender Dragon. The Ender...
Hey! Minecraft can be a funny old game. Over the years, crafters have uncovered a wealth of secrets, and developed a bunch of unique ways to play. Dirt block towers, pigs with saddles, chests packed with mushroom stew - over time, these things have become almost… normal. For the near future, we’re celebrating some of the funkiest bits of Minecraft. Keen Facebook and Twitter users might have noticed that we’ve already created an LA installation that references the way shrewd Minecrafters use torches to light their way back home. We also uploaded a unique L.A. map to Minecraft Realms for Minecraft Java that features loads of mini-games themed around light. In case you don’t have access to a Realm we’ve also made it available to...
We’ve prepared a rather spectacular seasonal gift for Console Edition. As is traditional, you’ll have to wait until late December to open up the full package, but we’re happy to give you a teeny preview today - the digital equivalent of letting you sneak downstairs and give your gift-wrapped goodies a little inquisitive shake. That’s if you can even lift the box - this is the biggest update we’ve put out this year! There are new mobs, blocks, items, status effects and all manner of other tweaks. Here are a few of the things you might hear rattling round inside: Elytra! Soar through The End on your freshly-minted insectoid glider, or, if you’d rather practice first, why not put your aerobatic skills to the test by generating a world...
Welcome back, Minecrafters, to another Friday of PC Realms maps! Based on last week’s numbers, loads of you went nuts for A Giant Quest! We had fun stomping around and staring down the dragon as well. Let’s get into this week’s maps! Makers Punch by MineMakers Team Makers Punch was a natural choice for inclusion on Realms. It was a fun and error-free minigame from the start, and it reminded us of the fan favorite, Knockback Madness, seasoned with design elements from MineMakers Team’s Makers Spleef. The goal of knocking your enemies flying off the platform is simple, but learning the jumps and items will give you an advantage as you and your friends play this game over and over. The Lost Civilization by Blockception and Mojang...
What could you learn in one hour? A little maths? A smattering of English? Some “science”? Nothing of significance, basically. That’s why you should be delighted that we’ve created a second Hour of Code tutorial, designed to teach you the basics of coding in a mere 60 minutes. We introduce concepts of game design and computer science in easy-to-understand steps before giving insight into mob behavior and more. Of course, to be a master coder like Jens takes more than an hour’s training, but this is a great place to start. Last year’s hour of code has been played over 31 million times, making it the most popular on the Code.org platform. Despite that, we’ve rebuilt the thing so it’s even better than last year’s. Both the 2015 and 2016...
Treasure hunters, rejoice! Update 1.11, aka the Exploration Update, has now made the treacherous journey from snapshot to full release. Our intrepid developers have scaled mighty crags of code, ventured into untamed pre-release territory and battled bugs to bring you wondrous gaming goodies! Some of these goodies may help you on your own journeys, too. 1.11 introduces the Cartographer, a new type of Villager who will exchange your spare emeralds for a map, marking the spot of certain treasure caches. But these locations won’t give up their bounty so easily! Some maps may point you to mysterious Ocean Monuments, patrolled by spiny Guardians, others to Woodland Mansions - a new location, inhabited by the Villagers’ creepy cousins: the...
There comes a time in every Minecraft edition’s life when they evolve from being a mere percentage into a fully fledged number. For Pocket Edition and Windows 10 that time is almost here. 1.0 - The Ender Update is coming! We didn’t pick that number for the lols. Our next update is packed with features but most significant is probably The End and its iconic inhabitant - The Ender Dragon. Though you can carry on playing after defeating the misunderstood beast, for many, taking it down is the ultimate goal in Minecraft. Something to aim for and achieve after hours of play. A tangible end-game for Survival players. Of course, we’ll continue to update Pocket Edition and the Windows 10 Edition beta after this update. There’s plenty more to...
Hey! Exciting news ahead! We’ve teamed up with a bunch of our developer buddies to create games and raise money for charity. The games will be available to download from Humble Bundle’s snazzy website in exchange for a donation of your choosing. It starts at 3pm today and ends at 12pm CET on Thursday. The Blockjam will include a few groups of Mojang developers, a chap from Microsoft based in Seattle, Grapefrukt, Ludosity and the wonderboys from Oxeye Game Studio. We’re even putting on an official Mojang livestream that’ll be hosted by three of the greatest Minecraft youTubers of all time - cat-shaped man with the insane chuckle, Stampy; cheery lover of dog art, StacyPlays; and the infectiously enthusiastic and difficult to spell...
