He explained: "From the basic descriptions, and I got to see a couple of screenshots of it, it seems like a real-time strategy game – an RTS of sorts. But the difference is you're controlling a Steve-esque unit on the field and ordering your units around in a third-person view. And you're taking on Piglins and it'll have a story and cut-scenes and all this other stuff." Gerstmann further added that he thought this new game could be shown over the next couple of weeks — even as soon as the upcoming Microsoft and Bethesda conference.
