Mojang Says Anything Is Possible for Minecraft’s Future Updates

Mojang has a vast collection of ideas that it is considering for future updates, as expressed by product manager Anna Lundgren, who stated that "nothing is ever off the table." The Copper Golem, initially introduced in the Minecraft Live 2021 mob vote, returned in September 2025 as part of The Copper Age update after being dormant for three years. Firefly bushes, originally planned for the Wild Update of 2021 but shelved due to community concerns about toxicity to frogs, were reintroduced in 2025 without the associated risks. Minecraft is shifting to a more dynamic update schedule, moving away from the traditional annual model, with recent updates like Tiny Takeover and the upcoming Chaos Cubed. Mojang is leveraging its history of ideas, suggesting that previously shelved concepts may resurface when the timing is right.

Scratching my No Man’s Sky and Satisfactory itches, this new space game from an acclaimed survival dev is finally on Steam

No Man's Sky is a vast space game that continues to expand, while StarRupture has recently launched in Steam Early Access as a more focused space survival experience. StarRupture features a single open-world planet for exploration, resource mining, base building, and combat against alien creatures. Players can choose from four classes: biologist, scientist, soldier, and engineer, and must manage hunger, thirst, toxicity, and health while crafting weapons. The game emphasizes automation, allowing players to build interconnected machines powered by solar energy, but they must also contend with extreme heat blasts. StarRupture is priced at .99 / £13.59 with a 20% discount. The developer, Creepy Jar, has plans for future updates, including map expansions, new weapons, resources, and a winter-themed biome in version 1.0.

My new RPG obsession has a toxic player problem, but its dev refuses to “whack on a leavers penalty” and call it a day

Fellowship, a multiplayer online dungeon adventure from Chief Rebel, has a daily peak user base of approximately 9,000 to 11,000 on Steam. Players have expressed frustrations regarding player behavior, particularly the lack of penalties for those who leave groups or queues, which affects match wait times. Community director Hamish Bode discussed plans to address these issues, including the development of an Eternal matchmaking system and improved communication tools. The team is also considering rewarding players who complete dungeons together to encourage positive interactions. Bode emphasized the need for a balanced approach to managing player behavior, acknowledging the complexities of implementing punishment systems alongside communication improvements.

Once a promising blend of League of Legends and World of Warcraft, I’m gutted that this new roguelike only lasted a month

Vela Games has announced the closure of its fantasy PvE roguelike title, Evercore Heroes Ascension, just one month after its full release from Early Access. The game will officially shut down on October 30, 2025, at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 11 AM GMT. Despite initial excitement and various development changes, including a shift from a MOBA/MMO hybrid to a co-op roguelike format, the game struggled to maintain player engagement and received a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam. Vela decided to eliminate matchmaking and multiplayer features, reducing the experience to a solitary adventure, which disappointed many fans. The developer expressed that they could not sustain the game due to early negative reviews and limited resources.
