Netflix has announced and released a short teaser trailer for a Minecraft animated series coming to the streaming service “soon”.
Announced during the 15th year anniversary celebration for the beloved survival sandbox game, the Minecraft animated series will feature an original story, new characters, and showcase the world of Minecraft in a new light.
WildBrain, the studio behind other Netflix shows such as Sonic Prime, Ninjago: Dragons Rising, and Carmen Sandiego, will create the CG-animated series.
The short teaser trailer, published on YouTube, doesn’t give much away but opens with the series’ most iconic mascot as a Creeper comes on screen before blowing up. The camera then moves through streams of lava in the Nether before emerging into a cave where the Netflix logo sits atop a rock, with sounds of other Minecraft beasties like spiders and zombies playing in the background.
“Netflix x Minecraft” then appears on screen, followed by “animated series” and “coming soon”. It’s unclear when this “soon” will be, but Netflix precedent indicates anywhere up to two years.
Minecraft arrived in 2009 but remains incredibly popular, with publisher Microsoft continuing to update it with new features and options like a Game Pass style subscription.
