Minecraft 2 did not last even a week before being canceled by the same creator of the original video game, for which many fans feel upset, sad and betrayed. Now, Notch is doing something that no one would have expected, working on a totally different title, but one that he assures fans will like much more than the spiritual successor to Microsoft’s game.

Less than a week ago, at the beginning of the year 2025; the original creator of the legendary open-world survival game known as Notch; announced that he had returned to the video game industry with the intention of creating a spiritual successor worthy of the cubic video game; This after posting on his “X” account (formerly Twitter) where he asked his fans what they preferred between the “second part” of the popular video game or a new “roguelike” style title that he was working on, for which Minecraft 2 ended up winning.
Trust me, the spiritual successor would be way less fun than the dungeon roguelike. They’re always kinda sad nostalgia dumps.
We’d probably give it a shot had the outcome been significantly more biased towards what people think they want.

Notch assured fans that although he did not end up paying attention to the survey, and ended up opting for the option that barely raised 19% of votes against Minecraft 2’s 81%; the “roguelike” style video game called Levers and Chests, which has been in development for a few months; It will be something amazing that everyone will love when it comes out.
None of the names, categories, icons, numbers, or flavor texts are final, but it’s working and updating the attribute list.

Although it is very easy to think that this controversy was created on purpose by the creator to publicize his new title, there is also the other quite credible side that tells us that Microsoft possibly prohibited the developer from making a part two or a “spiritual successor.” of Minecraft, well remember that Notch sold its cubic title to the company in 2014.
