Further details are not yet known. Netflix has only released a 20-second video showing a Creeper and a lava cave in the Nether region. According to the industry magazine Variety, it is to be a computer-animated series developed by the Canadian studio WildBrain. The studio has already produced the Netflix series 'Sonic Prime'. In addition to the 'Minecraft' series, a film is also in the works, which is being produced by Warner Bros. This film is due to be released in 2025. It is not yet known when the Netflix series will be shown. The creative game "Minecraft" is the best-selling video game of all time.
Microsoft's streaming partnerships
Cross-media strategies have become increasingly important in the games industry in recent years. Major game studios such as Sony and Microsoft use film adaptations of their brands to increase their reach. "Minecraft" publisher Microsoft recently experienced this with "Fallout": all games in the role-playing series have gained numerous new players as part of the series release on Prime Video, which should also benefit the game series in the long term.
Microsoft apparently does not want to commit to a streaming partner: While "Fallout" was created on Prime Video and "Minecraft" is set to come to Netflix, the "Halo" series will appear on Paramount+. Meanwhile, competitor Sony has collaborated with HBO for the adaptation of its ' The Last of Us' series. Nintendo has also had positive experiences with film adaptations of its game brands: A second "Super Mario Bros." movie is in the works. (dahe)
