Markus ‘Notch’ Persson, creator of Minecraft, announced in a series of messages on Twitter that he is working on the sequel to this game. That is, in Minecraft 2, and he talked about what motivated him to work.
It all started when he asked his followers which project he should focus on and proposed two. One of them was a roguelike with elements of a dungeon crawler with a first-person view or a spiritual successor to Minecraft.
In the end the second one won and Notch said on January 3, 2025 ‘basically I announced Minecraft 2. I thought maybe people would REALLY want me to make another title that was super similar to the first, and I love working on video games again’ .
We recommend: Minecraft releases a new trailer for its movie and it doesn’t look so bad anymore.
However, he shared his point of view about ‘spiritual successors’, whom he considered to be ‘failures’ in many cases, and which is something he considers tragic. He then highlighted his fears.

According to Markus Persson ‘the things that I fear will happen to me in the next game and that I try to avoid. So why not do what people DO want and are willing to give me, somehow, even MORE money?’
More than 78% of those who voted in the survey he did motivated him to work on Minecraft 2. Notch still said ‘I intend to spend money well, but my goodness, I’ve learned that I fail a lot. Winning is failing until you succeed.’
Honest and legitimate request for feedback for once:
The new game I’m passionately working on is currently set to be a traditional roguelike (i.e. ADOM, nethack, etc) mixed with a tile based first person dungeon crawler (ie Legend of Grimrock (esp 2), Eye of the Beholder)
But…

I basically announced minecraft 2.
I thought that maybe people ACTUALLY do want me to make another game that’s super similar to the first one, and I’m loving working on games again.
I don’t super duper care exactly which game I make first (or even if I make more), but I do know…

Notch revealed that when he sold Minecraft to Microsoft in September 2014 he did not sign any clause not being able to create a competitor. Only in the first year afterward could I not develop a video game with modifiable terrain.
But the name Minecraft 2 might not be the end, as it is too similar to the original and it would be illegal for it to use it. So he will continue working on this video game and in the process recognizes the great work Mojang has done so far.
