In the first days of the still young year 2025, Markus Persson once again caused a stir on Platform X. One of the longer posts begins with the sentence “Originally I announced Minecraft 2.” From other posts it can be concluded that Sweden is interested in sports development again after a long break. He writes about “Minecraft’s spiritual successor”.

Persson says, but since he knows he has often failed, it is by no means certain that the new game will ever come out. However, he is working on it “passionately”. The inventor of Minecraft insists on one thing other posts Also that he was “100% serious” about all this. This note is important because this man has attracted attention in recent years.
And it’s not yet clear whether his new game might have anything to do with Minecraft, the best-selling game of all time. According to Persson, his previous project was a roguelike title. Completing it, and not the fictional “Minecraft 2”, was rejected in a poll on X. According to him, Persona has around 3.6 million followers on the platform.

The Swede, better known by his handle “Notch” in the larger Minecraft community, developed the game almost single-handedly in 2009 and raised enough money to further develop it with an early access model that was unusual at the time. When nearly 10 million people played Minecraft in 2011, Notch pulled out of the daily business and eventually sold its studio “Mojang” to Microsoft for $2.5 billion in 2014. Later, Notch mainly made his name through his infamous Twitter activities, so Microsoft obviously did not invite him to the 10-year party for “Minecraft”. None of this affected the game: In 2023, Minecraft became the first title to reach the 300 unit mark.
