Minecraft graphics overhaul makes the game look fully next-gen

When I think of the most visually impressive video games of the current generation, I mean no disrespect towards the classic from Mojang Studios butMinecraftisn’t one that instantly comes to mind.

Originally released in 2011 forPCandmobile devicesbefore arriving on consoles the following year and beyond, to say thatMinecraftis phenomenal in the video game industry would be an understatement. Yet after well over a decade,Minecraftis as popular as it ever was.

Check out the Minecraft Legends trailer below!

Year after year,Minecraftevolves and is no longer the mere sandbox crafting survival game that it once was. We’ve had an interactive narrative title from Telltale Games, a strategy offering withMinecraft Legendsand the main game remains fresh with all sorts of DLC collaborations fromStar Wars, Godzilla,Sonic the Hedgehogand more.

In ourreview ofMinecraft Legends, we said: “It’s an enjoyable, lighthearted hybrid that prioritises exploration as much as tactical battle gameplay. It’s accessible for younger audiences and RTS newbies while still being challenging at later stages in the campaign.”

We’re even getting aMinecraftmovie starring Jack Blackas Steve. So if you thought thatMinecraftwould eventually dwindle over time, you’d be mistaken but arguably, talented modders keepMinecraftfresh more than anything else continually breathing new life into the beloved game.

One mod in particular (or I should say several collaborated mods) has worked wonders forMinecrafton PC offering gorgeous 8K visuals, ray tracing and new water physics which at first glance, makes it look anything but aMinecraftgame.
