The Author Of World War Z Will Be Writing A Minecraft Novel

Minecraft has largely existed as a video game, although given its pixelated design, it wasn’t surprising when Minecraft LEGO sets were eventually created. That being said, we can now expect a new medium of Minecraft which will come in the form of a book. Announced by Mojang, the book will be written by Max Brooks.

In case you didn’t know, Brooks is the author of World War Z. We’re not sure what the plot will be or what the story will be about, but in a post on Mojang’s blog by Marsh Davis, it reads, “I’ve peeked at an early draft and it’s entirely amazing, just as we knew it would be. Think cuboid Robinson Crusoe, but madder: a hero stranded in an unfamiliar land, with unfamiliar rules, learning to survive against tremendous odds.”

According to Brooks, “I’m very excited to be part of this new venture. Finally I can justify all those hours I’ve spent playing Minecraft.” Becoming a book isn’t the only new medium that fans of the franchise can expect, as you might have heard, there are plans for a Minecraft movie, so if you want to know what Minecraft with a backstory might be like, this book could be it.

Dubbed Minecraft: The Island, there is no word on when the Minecraft novel will be released so fans will just have to keep their eyes peeled for when it is released.
