Trailers & Announcements

STOP THE FOUL FOWL by Minecraft is a highly chaotic 38-second teaser that introduces a rather bizarre, fast-running, and incredibly hungry chicken running wild in a village. It is a quick, fun alert for players to jump in and help catch this gluttonous bird before it devours all the carefully prepared Harvest Fest food.
