Once in a while, "Minecraft" devs would go live on YouTube for their Minecraft Now series. In this particular live event, they would go on to try out recently added features in the game. Also, they would drop updates about the things currently happening in the game.
Minecraft design directors would also reveal hints or easter eggs about upcoming events, features, blocks, or mobs. This edition of "Minecraft Now," which was streamed last Aug. 25, featured Minecraft creative director Agnes Larsson.

In the 60-minute live stream, Larsson and associates working for "Minecraft" tackle the latest news about everything new in the mining sandbox game. They also did some quick build sessions, including the new mangrove tree block.
Minecraft Live Details
A report from Game Rant informs us that Larsson was also able to reveal details about the upcoming Minecraft Live. This year's Minecraft Live will take place on October 15, Larsson confirms.
According to the Minecraft Creative Director, the "Minecraft Live" event would feature "new and exciting things." Larson adds that the people behind Minecraft had two main objectives, the first of which was to promote Minecraft.
By revealing the subsequent game updates, Larsson claimed that the second objective of this year's Minecraft Live will be to "build player dreams."
Just like 2020's Minecraft Live, it looks like the upcoming event is loaded with surprises. But the sandbox game has plenty to make up for this year's live event after missing update schedules after schedules in their latest release time frames. It can be remembered that the Deep Dark biome was released way off its initial launch window.
Mojang might be more mindful this time in announcing update releases. This particular issue might be what Larsson was talking about when she mentioned that Minecraft Live 2022 would be 'learning from mistakes.'
Back in June, Mojang released Minecraft's "The Wild Update," featuring a new OP mob, the warden of the Deep Dark, and a new swamp biome. This update added new blocks and other new mobs. Creators have a particularly good reception of the new addition, except for the fact that the new biome could be particularly hard to find and frogs are eating magma cubes.
Minecraft Legends
Aside from vanilla Minecraft updates, another big release upcoming from the blocky realm is "Minecraft Legends." This Minecraft spinoff by Mojang is set to be launched next year, as announced in the recently concluded Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022.

According to Digitaltrends, the action strategy game Minecraft Legends can be Mojang's biggest release next year. With the same blocky visuals as the original Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Legends takes place in the standard Minecraft world. But in contrast to earlier games, this one is solely focused on tactical fighting.
Looking at the official posters from the official Minecraft Legends website, the game will be featuring more powerful versions of mobs like Skeletons, Piglins, Golems, and more.
Mojang has not revealed much yet about this new title, but it looks like it would be featuring more combat than old-fashioned mining and crafting.
