In the Minecraft franchise

in 2025, Mojang Studios and King collaborated to create an upcoming mobile game titled Minecraft Blast, which is currently in development by both companies.[1] The game will combine modern match puzzle gameplay with scenarios that are Minecraft themed. The game could only be playtested in Malaysia and Canada on devices running iOS and iPadOS.[2]
