For a one-of-a-kind crossover event, Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition and Minecraft Legends are collaborating. Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition, one of the all-time best strategy games on Steam, officially made the legendary cooperation official by outlining the changes and awards that players can look forward to seeing throughout the event. Since this is the first time Forgotten Empire and Mojang have collaborated, it is a significant event for both fandoms and the common community.
The Minecraft multiverse is real, guys. As written by the Age of Empires 2 DE team, “A portal has been opened and hordes of Piglins and Creepers are already attacking our poor villagers, it’s time to fight back!” The time to defend your empire from Minecraft mobs has come, and it’s absolutely adorable.
Age of Empires 2 DE’s Minecraft Legends event will last from Tuesday, June 27 to Tuesday, July 11. Simply log on to participate, but do remember that you can complete just one event challenge a day.
This means that you will need to play at least five different days to complete the challenges fully. The rewards are yours to keep, and they include everything from cute profile icons to graphical mods that overhaul AoE’s enemies with Minecraft Legends’ own mobs.
For instance, you can hunt boars to unlock a mod that replaces the animals with Minecraft Legends’ Warboars. Another challenge gives you the option to replace militia with Piglins. You can find the full event details here for more info.
