Markus Persson, also known as ‘Notch’, the original creator of Minecraft, has recently sparked excitement in the gaming community by hinting at the potential development of a sequel to his iconic game, Minecraft 2. According to various reports, Notch teased fans by stating, ‘I have some ideas for a sequel that could take everything to the next level, while staying true to what made the original so beloved.’ While details remain scarce, the possibility has reignited conversations among fans and industry leaders alike. In addition to Minecraft 2, Notch expressed interest in venturing into a different genre with plans for a roguelike game. ‘I’ve always loved roguelikes,’ he shared. ‘The idea of procedural generation and unique playthroughs is something I want to explore.’ These statements were made during interviews and discussions in early January 2025, where Notch’s innovative spirit seems as vibrant as ever. While Mojang Studios, the studio behind Minecraft, is currently focusing on its latest updates and expansions for the original game, the potential for Minecraft 2 has sparked both excitement and speculation across the gaming landscape. There has yet to be an official announcement or schedule regarding the development of Minecraft 2, but fans are already buzzing with anticipation about what direction Notch may take.
