Can I play with friends?
The original Minecraft did an incredible job of bring players from various platforms into the game.
Crossplay has been an amazing feature of the game for sometime, with Xbox, PC, Switch and Playstation players able to jump into the same world.
Minecraft Dungeons has a number of features which help continue this trend.
Co-operative Multiplayer
The great news is that there will be co-operative multiplayer in the game. Players will have the chance to play with friends and conquer the challenges of the Minecraft Dungeons ahead of them.
We recently explored the best moments from the trailer, with one of our top moments showcasing how players can use different abilities to succeed.
It looks like all the classic elements of playing with friends come together perfectly in the game.
From the footage, we see players casting shields to protect their fellow team mates, alongside slashing a path through hordes for them to use.
Players also selflessly revive their fallen comrades in battle and it looks like there’s some team inventory management too!
Cross Platform Multiplayer
Minecraft Dunegons is set to release on PC, Xbox One, Playstation and Nintendo Switch. Following the original’s example, there will be cross play for Minecraft Dungeons.
However it won’t be available for every platform just yet. As it stands crossplay for PC & Xbox players is a go, but Nintendo Switch and PS4 players will have to wait.
That means that if you’re looking to play with your friends on either of the consoles, you’ll have to make sure they have the same one as you do!
Couch Co-op and Online Co-op
With the currently situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s good to hear that playing online co-op will feature in the game.
With social distancing still in effect, unless you’re living with someone, couch co-op may have to wait until this all blows over.
Still, by the looks of the gameplay footage, playing Minecraft Dungeons with friends is going to be an absolute blast.
