Mojang has announced the end of development for Minecraft Legends. This means there will be no upcoming updates, hotfixes, or changes for the game. Minecraft Legends is essentially over, and here's everything you need to know about this news.
Is Minecraft Legends Ending?
Mojang has put an end to the development of Minecraft Legends less than a year after the official release. This is a very short time for a game to stop being developed and supported, but the title, based on the cult-classic Minecraft, has not had it easy so far.
- Fans can continue playing Minecraft Legends, even getting a free parting reward from the devs (the free Bright-Eyed Hero skin), but they won't be getting any updates or new content.
- These news are in no way related to the original Minecraft game.
Since launch, we've listened to community feedback and implemented a series of changes and tweaks to make the game better. With that complete, we're now going to take a step back from development. While we won’t be releasing any new content (i.e. updates, Lost Legends, or Marketplace DLC) for Minecraft Legends, the fun doesn't stop here. We'll continue having a blast playing the game alongside our community because those rowdy piglins are showing no signs of slowing down. Plus, we’re leaving you one last freebie: the Bright-Eyed Hero skin, which you can claim now on the Minecraft Legends Marketplace. Illuminate your path forward and continue fighting the good fight!

False Start for Minecraft Legends
As already mentioned, Minecraft Legends had a rough start and is clearly not a fan-favorite game, following in the footsteps of Minecraft's success. The game was criticized for lacking depth and not performing well in terms of AI. Finally, it met the fate of other Minecraft spin-offs.
