With the original version of Minecraft having so many DLCs that it’s impossible to keep up with them for a casual player, some players have been wondering is Minecraft Legends a DLC. After all, a standalone game would be much more appealing to most players than another DLC, right? Well, worry not as we’re here to clear up everything about Minecraft Legends being a DLC so you can know what you’re purchasing.
Does Minecraft Legends Have DLC
So far, Minecraft Legends has six additional DLC skins that players can purchase, Of course, the best way to go about it is by simply purchasing the deluxe edition to instantly get access to all six of these skins at once. Naturally, we’re expecting more DLCs to launch soon as this was the case with Minecraft Dungeons, the other standalone Minecraft game.
Is Minecraft Legends a Standalone Game?
Facing the elephant in the room right from the start, Minecraft Legends is indeed a standalone game, just like the previously released Minecraft Dungeons. However, it does take place in the Minecraft universe, is developed by Mojang (the developers of Minecraft), and has the same art style as the other Minecraft games. It also has various items from other Minecraft games.
Well, that’s where the similarities end, as instead of the usual genres, Minecraft Legends is an action strategy game with an actual story. The aim of this game is to go around the procedurally generated open world, collecting resources, fighting evil piglets, and crafting your base in various old and new biomes while following the many different map icons.
This game prioritizes exploration and adventure over everything else, and actively urges players to take their time and take the world in. However, there’s always a lingering sense of urgency in the air as you fight against the piglets either alone or with your friends.
