It's also clearer just what these blocky avatars are going to fight. You can swing your pickaxe for easy attacks Of course, but you can also "mine" stages to create blocks (as defensive tools) and craft items There's even crafting tables on the stage. The Final Smash for both characters is a "House of Boom" which throws enemies into an explosive pile of Creepers.
The Fighters Pass Vol. 2 collection is available for sale for $30 and includes characters such as Arms' Min Min. If you're only interested in Minecraft, though you can buy Challenger Pack for $6 to purchase Steve and Alex.
The announcement came in sync with the Minecraft Live virtual event which included a variety of announcements for the Minecraft games themselves. Most notably, Minecraft Dungeons cross-platform play is scheduled to launch in November for Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs. The Howling Peaks add-on for Minecraft as a whole, however will be available in December. Microsoft and Mojang are determined to keep Minecraft in the spotlight, and that includes experiences in other games.
