The official Minecraft Twitter account announced the closure of Earth on June 30. The title is an analogue of Pokemon Go, in which players need to walk around a schematic map and collect various resources.
The developers made the decision to curtail work on Minecraft Earth in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. After the game closes, they will concentrate on other projects.
The developers will release the latest update today. The innovations will be as follows:
- Developers will reduce player costs for rubies
- Developers will completely remove payments for real money
- All content will appear in the game that the developers planned to add, but could not because of work on it
- All players who log into the game between January 5 and June 30 will receive a set of items for creating a character
Minecraft Earth went into Early Access on Android and iOS on May 17, 2019.
