How long is Minecraft Legends?
According to the game’s developers Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, the single-player aspect of the game will take around 18 hours to complete. Your playthrough may be longer than this if you choose to explore every facet of the game world and strive for 100% completion.
Is Minecraft Legends single-player or multiplayer?
Minecraft Legends can be played on your own or with others.
In single-player, you take on the role of an unnamed hero who sits atop a trusted mount and explores the Overworld. During your adventure, you will:
- Gather resources
- Build outposts and settlements
- Add new allies to your army
- Defend settlements from Piglin forces
- Conquer enemy fortresses and settlements
It’s possible to play through the campaign with up to 3 friends so you don’t have to take on the Piglins alone.
As well as online co-op, there is also a PVP aspect to the game, where two teams of up to 4 players are pitted against each other within the procedurally generated world. During matches, players will need to collect resources, build fortresses, raise armies, and work together to dominate the enemy team.
Cross-platform multiplayer will be available at launch with online matchmaking available.
Is there any DLC?
If you pick up the Deluxe Edition of the game, you will have access to the Deluxe Skin Pack, which includes one hero skin, four mount skins, and an additional mount skin when it becomes available.
Further DLC will likely be announced after the game’s launch.
Does the game have achievements?
You will find details of achievements at TrueAchievements and PlayStation Trophies around the time of the game’s launch date.
