Minecraft Blast Mobile Game Debuts in Malaysia

Minecraft Blast, a new match-3 puzzle game, has been launched for limited playtesting in Malaysia, developed by Mojang in collaboration with King. The game offers a unique blend of crafting and puzzle mechanics set in Minecraft’s familiar world.

Versions & loaders

Minecraft Blast is currently available on the Apple App Store in Malaysia. The game adopts a match-3 puzzle format similar to King's Candy Crush but incorporates Minecraft’s artistic style and universe. Players engage in a 2D block-tapping puzzle to clear levels and unlock crafting energy used to build in a 3D mini-world.

Performance & fixes

As of this phase, Minecraft Blast is in early playtesting, allowing developers to gather preliminary feedback. Microsoft, Mojang, and King are focusing on refining the game through small tests before any broader release. The playtest period is expected to last one to two weeks.

Impact / What’s Next

The limited release aims to evaluate initial gameplay and address player feedback. Current availability is restricted to iOS users in Malaysia, who might change their App Store region to access the test build. Microsoft's approach signals a cautious strategy towards global rollout.
