Minecraft fans have plenty of new content to look forward to as the franchise as a whole received a ton of different announcements throughout the Minecraft Live event. During the show, it was announced that Max Brooks will be releasing a follow up to his first Minecraft novel, titled Minecraft: The Mountain.
Minecraft: The Moutain will be a direct sequel to Max Brooks' 2017 hit book Minecraft: The Island which featured different chapters in which each taught the reader a different life lesson. Minecraft: The Island told a story of a hero stranded in the world of Minecraft, learning how things work just like players of the overwhelmingly popular game once did. Minecraft: The Mountain will continue the adventures of the same protagonist who finds another stranded wanderer in this Minecraft world and the two of them will continue their adventures together.
Max Brooks' Minecraft: The Island was a New York Times Best Seller in 2017 and the first official Minecraft novel. Brooks is most famous for his best selling book, World War Z, which was adapted loosely into a feature film sharing the same title starring Bard Pitt in 2013 and had a video game under the same name in 2019. The video game, World War Z, received positive reviews and offered a satisfactory experience that allows friends to wipe out hordes of zombies.
Judging but the title, Minecraft: The Moutain takes place in the mountains, obviously, which may share the same kind of setting as the recently announced Minecraft Dungeons DLC, Howling Peaks. Minecraft Dungeons Howling Peaks was just announced during Minecraft Live and is bringing new missions and enemies for players to face off against up on harrowing peaks.
Minecraft: The Mountain is scheduled to release in 2021.
