Game news Xbox: Microsoft has big plans for the Metaverse, intriguing Halo, and Minecraft teasing

Long fantasized the concept of the metaverse is starting to get dangerously close and come into play … really. Just recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the Facebook group is finally being renamed Meta, with one simple goal: Shaping the future of the Internet with a completely virtual universe that brings together various digital services, but also people, through a futuristic and highly networked digital system. A principle that is not only initiated by Facebook, as Epic Games also wants to make its entry, as well as Microsoft, which allows itself an enigmatic tease.

As reported Bloomberg, the current Microsoft manager Satya Nadella allowed himself a fascinating speech: Yes, the company has things planned for the Metaverse, including its own Xbox franchises.

You can definitely expect things to be done in the video game. If you take Halo as a game, it’s a metaverse. Minecraft is a metaverse, just like the flight simulator. In a way, they’re in 2D today, but the question is, “Can we get them into a full 3D world now?” This is what we completely plan for.

There is actually a very interesting speech behind these slightly allegorical words: Microsoft is determined to take its strong franchises to another digital level and popularity. That other level is the metaverse, this completely virtual universe that can be called the next internet, social, and even economic revolution. It remains to be seen how the Redmond company will propose and implement its ideas, and above all … when.
