Minecraft Creator Notch Explores Plans for a 'Spiritual Successor' to the Game

Markus 'Notch' Persson has teased a potential new project inspired by Minecraft, though its development and release remain uncertain.

Notch conducted a social media poll asking fans whether he should continue developing a roguelike dungeon crawler or create a game similar to Minecraft, with the latter receiving overwhelming support.
He described the project as a potential 'spiritual successor' to Minecraft, emphasizing it would not infringe on Microsoft's ownership of the Minecraft IP.
Notch has expressed enthusiasm for game development again but admitted uncertainty about whether the project will reach completion or release.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions due to Notch's controversial past statements and his absence from major game releases since selling Mojang to Microsoft in 2014.
Details about the potential game, including its mechanics, features, or timeline, remain vague as the project is still in its conceptual stages.
