[@BokyakuHeiko]

Considering they are behind 99% of the ports of Minecraft, this is interesting

WAKE UP BABY!!!!! 4J STUDIOS IS COOKING AGAIN🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Echoprogrammer]

Cool, give minecraft some competition!

[@nilpyc307]

Minecraft is going to die when the game comes out because they can't keep up

[@A-chefs-life]

@@nilpyc307ur hate is too optimistic. Minecraft won’t die.

[@gianfrancofont1582]

@@nilpyc307 na the game will take to many years if ther dont say nothing... they doesnt know what kind of game is XD

[@nilpyc307]

@@A-chefs-life it depends how the devs handled the situation because before if you want a sandbox or survival game like Minecraft before there wasn't any game games but now i can see alot of player will quit Minecraft mostly because how the dev are treating and doing to Minecraft recently

[@nilpyc307]

@@gianfrancofont1582 it will definitely hurt Minecraft player count by alot if they keep with what they doing to Minecraft recently like banning mods for bedrock

[@JohnLogostini]

Awesome to see a Scottish made Game engine

[@mostlime12195]

Awesome! Thanks, 4J!

[@MajatekYT]

Could be a good idea to consider opening up the Elements Engine (or at least freely supporting modding out of the gate) as you have a lot of established and upcoming competition as it is. It'll be hard to get into the voxel game market - much like any new Battle Royale game has to compete with Fortnite. Perhaps add support for things you don't normally see in voxel games, such as vehicle physics, truly editable voxel-based avatars (think voxel DOOM mods where people have recreated the various sprites as voxel models), and so on? Good luck! Hope you get a lot of fans!

[@rostadeveloper]

Very sad that it is closed sourced for now. I hope it changes soon ^^

[@trashtrash2169]

Almost every game studio made engine is, lol.

[@VeeTHis]

Most in-house game engines are. I don't really find it that surprising lol

[@maverickhuntermeta4954]

Will you plan on using the Elements engine for Nintendo's next generation hardware?

[@Shiltz]

I was thinking that, but they cannot say until Nintendo says really

[@FundarrtheCreator]

This is awesome! I'm excited to see what the future holds!

[@Mittzys]

Very happy to hear more

[@Nikkel144]

i feel like 4j studios is cooking something cool right now

[@ThyTrueNightmare]

Everything said here is the reason I want to make my own voxel engine. good to see this is the way to go and good luck to you!

[@xenoscout9319]

imagine the modding possibilities !

[@Random_guy_35]

So excited, this is going to be great!

Im so exited for this Ill be wating to buy your game wjjen it releases

[@NinetyEight418]

Insane

[@jussifin766official]

This is exciting... 🤩🤩🤩

[@AdhdGamer2023]

Release date?

[@LuckiestDanPer]

Release it on PS4!

[@AlejandroGonzalez-rg1oh]

When date release new Minecraft console edition?

[@maverickhuntermeta4954]

Will you plan on getting your studio to make Minecraft back on to home consoles again with the Elements engine? That would be a dream come true. 4J Studios is definitely the right team to make Banjo-Threeie.

[@DeerJerky]

unfortunately, Microsoft holds the Minecraft IP and not 4J, so no they can't just rerelease the console editions of Minecraft

[@maverickhuntermeta4954]

@DeerJerky bedrock edition isn't the same compared to it's Legacy Console Edition.

[@DeerJerky]

@@maverickhuntermeta4954 point?

[@epiccrusadr8583]

Yay

[@FyonixYT]

isnt this like kogama but modern

[@dlrowolleh5855]

Finally. The Minecraft 2 we deserved. Time to migrate from Java

[@hw2007]

"PC" just mean personal computer... does that include mac and/or linux? Or just windows?

[@supermito573]

wowowowowowo

[@aryansardessai3512]

Yes

[@BowieDotR]

I hope the pc release will be mac compatible cause then I’d be able to play it

[@ninjamonk]

Release the engine, you have a generation of developers who grew up playing Minecraft. It would be a no brainer and commercially viable I suspect. Or sell a game maker like rpg in a box type project with exports. Looks fantastic 👍

[@punkyroo]

Please just make "Minecraft 2" (or whatever you want to call it.) A massively extendable voxel building / crafting game!!

[@pydrunk]

Pydrunk approves👍

[@JettStreamStudio]

YOOOOOOOOOO

[@fedpo6022]

no linux?

[@GeorgeShusev]

What about Xbox 360 update? I know, it is old console, but… Can you update and add Unlimited World?

[@AveragePumpkin204]

hardware limitations probably

[@iamna6ar]

minecraft 2 ?!

[@WertBort]

Yeah

[@cutecharacterpower]

I hope they did not mention Nintendo switch because it will be on the Switch 2

[@Superstarzs2000]

They probably don’t know right now as the current switch is probably too weak for the engine and chances are that they may not know much more about the successor then we do, so don’t want to make any promises yet.

[@Real_The_Goof]

No mention of Nintendo hardware.. shame..

[@CoolSs]

Minecraft as game lost it focus and identity, the ps vita minecraft is actually pretty good and i hope you guys pull it off with this game.

[@Josephaguiniga]

Siempre tenías Minecraft pero con PlayStation3 y tenías Xbox

[@sephirothangel2202]

4J Studios Minecraft version of console edition is better than bedrock edition

[@666-d3j]

Minecraft legacy console edition💯

[@iolmnd604]

Pls retun minecraft updates

[@PushingFriend28]

please add halo combat evolved to this game on release

[@CoolSs]

please please. let the game have easy multiplayer setup. so i can make server and play with my friend easy without needing to rent a server.

"I can't reveal that yet" So why put it in the video.

[@Spealer]

Ehh probably just so people stop asking what game there making as they will reveal when they are ready.
