Sony Ericsson teases Minecraft: Pocket Edition on Xperia Play in short video

Those noncommittal so-and-sos over at Sony Ericsson have released a teaser video on Facebook of Minecraft: Pocket Edition for Xperia Play with some teeny, tiny hints about the upcoming title.

The nine-second-long YouTube trailer reveals the familiar first-person view of Minecraft in its ‘creative mode’, with the block palette at the bottom of the screen.

The description below the video reads: “Not long to go now... how long until Minecraft arrives?” So, we could be forgiven for speculating that the release date will be publicised soon.

The development of Minecraft: Pocket Edition is being headed up by Mojang’s Jens Bergensten, and the game will be exclusive to the Xperia Play “for a while”, according to the developer. It’ll cost $6.99 when it does finally rear its head on the Android Market.
