Minions Raid Minecraft; New DLC Launches

There will be even more chaos in Minecraft. Starting today, you can buy the DLC that introduces Minions, Gru, and the rest of the characters known from Illumination's animated features.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • Minecraft received a DLC introducing characters from the Minion movies;
  • In the add-on we can join forces with the popular Minions and fight for the title of the greatest super villain in the world of Minecraft;
  • The expansion is priced at 1340 coins on the Minecraft Marketplace.

Minecraft recently received an experimental snapshot in which we can get an early look at the new terrain generator coming in the second part of the Caves & Cliffs update, due out later, this year. And today, on the game's official website the devs have announced the release of a DLC resulting from Mojang Studios' collaboration with Illumination, the animation studio responsible for the Minions series.

Minions x Minecraft is another DLC that introduces characters from another franchise to the popular sandbox. Thanks to previous additions of this type we could encounter characters from the world of Sonic or Ben 10. The new expansion enables us to spend fun-filled moments with the former villain Gru, Lucy and their daughters. Of course, the titular Minions - yellow creatures known for their humor, who serve the characters - are also omnipresent in the game. There is no shortage of opponents from the movies as well - the DLC includes Vector, El Macho or members of the super villain group Vicious 6.

DLC enables us to compete with Gru's opponents, in which the film characters will help us. Each character has its own set of skills, and from the trailer we can deduce that in the game there are also vehicles known from animation. In addition, in combat we'll use movie gadgets, we can also choose many costumes for the Minions.

We can get this expansion on the Minecraft Marketplace for 1340 coins as well as other DLCs created as a result of cooperation between Mojang Studios and other companies.
