Minecraft Convention Comes To Las Vegas This November
Mojang Studio’s sandbox game/addictive exploration drug Minecraft has coaxed massive creativity out of its skilled users. Tons of user mods have surfaced since the game’s initial under-the-radar release in May 2009, and it has been such a huge success that Mojang has decided to hold a convention in its honor.
The first annual MineCon is coming to Las Vegas, Nevada on November 18 and 19.
“For me, MineCon is about celebrating the full release of Minecraft,” Notch told PC Gamer. “I’m really looking forward to getting up on stage and pushing the button to upload the final build.”
Be on the lookout next week when registration site opens up. Considering Minecraft’s huge success, you’ll probably want to act quickly when the tickets become available.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
