Mojang collaborated with Disney to release a Lightyear DLC for Minecraft Bedrock. The DLC walks the player through Buzz's origin story and his crash landing on an alien planet. There will be five different missions set in diverse environments, from the jungle to mines.

Other than beating up enemies, players will get to fly different aircraft and dodge obstacles on the alien planet. The DLC also comes with a free Lightyear-themed character creator item. Over on the marketplace, the Lightyear expansion costs 1,340 Minecoins. In real legal tender, that's equivalent to roughly a little less than the $10 bundle, which comes with 1,7430 Minecoins.

The DLC is temporarily unavailable on Nintendo Switch but will be available shortly, according to Minecraft's blog post. To play the Lightyear DLC, note that you'll also need the base game, the latest edition of Minecraft Bedrock specifically, which is $30 on PC.

Note that starting in June 2022, Mojang bundled Minecraft Java and Bedrock for PC into one package. The two editions will remain distinct, but the bundle is a way for PC players to have both Java and Bedrock without having to choose between buying one or the other. Additionally, existing PC owners of either Java or Bedrock automatically received a free copy of the version they didn't own.

Mojang has been very prolific in producing Minecraft crossovers, including the unexpected Lacoste (yes, the clothing brand) collaboration released in March 2022.

Unknown Worlds--the studio behind 2014's terrifying underwater adventure, Subnautica--has released a new developer vlog detailing the studio's progress on the long-awaited Subnautica 2, which was officially announced last October.

The vlog gives players their first close-up look at one of the game's most anticipated features: a four-player co-op mode that allows players to explore the depths of an alien planet with friends by their side--a stark contrast from the original game's solo journey through the deep.

\"For the first time, you’ll have the chance to experience Subnautica 2 with your friends in co-op,\" design lead Anthony Gallegos explained, showing off footage of multiple players exploring the underwater world.

The original Subnautica didn't come with a co-op mode, but players were so eager to explore the game's alien ocean with friends that modders eventually created their own co-op mode, and it's clear that Unknown Worlds has kept a keen eye on what players want from the game's sequel.

\"We've taken everything that we've learned from our experience on [Subnautica and its prequel, Subnautica: Below Zero], and we've poured it into Subnautica 2,\" Gallegos said. \"We’re working with veterans of the Subnautica series, but have also brought on some new faces so you know you’ll be in good hands.\"

Subnautica 2 differs from its predecessors in other ways as well. Unlike the previous entries in the series--which took place on a planet simply known as 4546B--Subnautica 2 will take place on a different alien planet, and will feature different biomes, vehicles, and creatures (including Leviathans). But the game does bear some resemblance to previous entries in the series. Just like the studio's original undersea thrillers, Subnautica 2 will be launching in early access to give players a chance to voice their opinions on the game before its official release. The early access version of the game is set to launch sometime in 2025, though an official date has not yet been announced.

\"You'll be there when we first add new vehicles, craftables, biomes, and Leviathans,\" Gallegos said of the game's upcoming early access launch. \"And you'll be able to tell us exactly what you think as we continue to develop the game alongside you.\"

Subnautica 2 is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
