Cronologia
Panoramica
Created by Markus 'Notch' Persson in 2009 and developed by Mojang Studios—which was acquired by Microsoft in 2014—Minecraft has grown into a global media phenomenon.
Beginning as an indie sandbox game, the franchise has expanded across multiple video game platforms, spin-off titles, an extensive publishing program, an arcade adaptation, a documentary, and major theatrical feature films.
With over three dozen official novels, graphic novel series, and record-breaking video game sales across PC, mobile, and console platforms, Minecraft stands as one of the most prominent properties in modern digital entertainment.
Origini
The Minecraft franchise began on May 17, 2009, when Markus 'Notch' Persson publicly shared an early developmental build of the game on the TIGSource forums, later known as Minecraft Classic.
Rapid adoption by an online community led to continuous updates and expanding scope.
In August 2011, Mojang introduced Minecraft: Pocket Edition, debuting on the Xperia Play before expanding to iOS and Android. The full 1.0 release of the core PC game (Java Edition) was celebrated on November 18, 2011, at MineCon 2011. Following its explosive growth on consoles and mobile devices, Mojang Studios was acquired by Microsoft in 2014.
