In recent days, a huge stir has been generated by a message that Markus Persson, better known as Notch, has published on his official X account. In one of these publications started a survey in which I wanted to know What were the players most looking forward to?whether a new project in the form of a roguelike or something that could be considered the true spiritual successor to Minecraft.
It didn't take long for fans to speak out after Notch fueled the expectation by apparently believing that it would be a kind of minecraft 2. However, it only took a few days to throw away the dream of anyone who was excited about this possibility, because in the end it will not come true.
This is because Notch has decided to opt for the other project that he had proposed, despite the fact that in the vote that he himself initiated he lost by a landslide. 81.5% of the votes chose the new game of Minecraftbut it seems that it has not been a sufficient reason and one could even say that the developer did not care, because has announced that will finally get down to work with the other title, called Levers and Chests.
I've talked to the guys in the office. Looks like we're going to develop Levers and Chests!
Among the comments left, there have been no shortage of those who have confessed to feeling betrayed after everything that happened, although Notch wanted to ensure that Minecraft's spiritual successor wouldn't have been as fun as will this roguelike that will have a mix of dungeon crawler with a first-person perspective. He has even tried to calm the waters by indicating that everything that has to do with Minecraft 2 It's Microsoft's business.
At least it only took him a few days to back down, because if he had backed out within a few months it would have been much worse. Of course, it looks like we will have to sit and wait to find out more details about Levers and Chestssince it has not even been indicated when approximately it will be published or the platforms on which it will go on sale.
