Whether the series will retain the same visual style as the video is still unclear. There is a mixed mood in the comments on X: while some fans are enthusiastic, others express doubts about the quality of the series.
On Reddit the Minecraft series is also being discussed. Many users are convinced that an animated series is the better way to go compared to a live-action version. Of course, this refers to the Minecraft film planned for April 2025 which is to be realized in live action and will star Jason Momoa and Jack Black, among others.
When will the Minecraft series be released?
Apart from "Coming Soon", the short trailer unfortunately gives no indication of the release date. Nothing is known about the plot or the characters of the series either. However, as the series is already in the works according to Netflix, new trailers and information should not be long in coming.
