After Microsoft announced it was buying the Swedish developer Mojang and the Minecraft franchise with her in September, some wondered how the manufacturer would make the Xbox brand grow going forward.
Even a sequel to the game was suggested by some, but in a new interview, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, says that the company must “meet the needs” of the existing Minecraft community before potentially expanding the franchise. He also reminds players that the deal has not been closed (expected to be by the end of the year) and that Mojang is still in control of the series.
“It’s a big deal,” said Spencer to IGN about the acquisition. “For me, I see it as a great game to add to our portfolio. I love [gamer] playing Minecraft. “
Asked directly about the possibility of Minecraft 2, Spencer said discussions about future extensions to series will come later.
“I do not know if Minecraft 2, if this is the thing that makes more sense. The community around Minecraft is as strong as any community out there. We must meet the needs and wishes of their community before we have permission to go out and do something else, “he said. “That does not mean that everything we will do will have 100% acceptance, because I do not know if there is threads where 100% of people agree. But we think that our number one job is to go out and meet the needs of the Minecraft community first, and then we can think of ways that can really help you grow. This is our sole focus, “he added.
In the game, Warner Bros. is currently working on a film of Minecraft, which is in the early stages of development and can be released only in 2017 or 2018.
