Minecraft Pocket Edition out this autumn on Xperia Play, priced $6.99
Block-rocker
Markus Persson (aka. Notch) has told IGN that Minecraft Pocket Edition for Xperia Play will be heading to the platform this autumn and will be priced at $6.99.
Minecraft Pocket Edition takes the PC mega-super-indie-hit and squeezes it down onto the smaller screen, which means some functionality will be lost but the experience as a whole will still be very much ‘Minecraft’.
Notch has said that the mobile versions - the game will come to other platforms after the Xperia Play exclusive window - are “probably going to explore” certain social aspects, above and beyond the original version.
We had a hands-on with an early build of the game at E3 this year, so do take a ganders at the video below or read about our first impressions here.
