    Lost Legends: The Hunting Season

    Hunt down the hunter in a new free challenge!

    In the last Lost Legend, we galloped around the Overworld as llamas. Now it’s time to step back into the hero’s boots and face another epic threat in Minecraft Legends! In The Hunting Season, you get to face The Beast once again – and it’s on a serious rampage.

    In the foreground, we see the back of The Beast as it looks towards a village in the distance with its weapon raised.
    The hero character is standing by a village fountain, with their back turned to the camera. In front of them, a worried villager looks at them for help while they run away from a Nether portal we see in tthe background.
    A screenshot of a village that has its fountain destroyed. In the center of the image, we see the Beast. In front of them, the hero is getting ready to attack with a large army of skeletons, creepers, zombies and plank golems.

    In July’s free challenge, your task is to stop this ruthless piglin before all of the five villages are destroyed. All of the allies in Minecraft Legends are at your disposal from the start, but be warned: once a village fountain is destroyed, it can’t be repaired with a carpenter hut. Make sure you gather plenty of resources and build a solid defense, because once a village falls there’s no turning back, and the Beast will move on to the next one!

    Defeating the Beast with at least one village fountain left standing will award you the exclusive Piglin Pursuer hero skin, so everyone will know that even the fastest piglin was no match for your hunting prowess!

    A new patch is coming!

    Later this month we’re also releasing a new patch that makes various changes to the game, including:

    • The hero’s sword can now inflict a small amount of damage on piglin bosses and buildings (except walls and portals) and deals more damage against most piglins

    • Banner View shows health bars for enemy buildings

    • Faster build, deconstruct, gather, and clear netherrack speeds in Campaign mode

    • Optimizations to the flow of Act 1 of the game

    • Player objectives and goals for Act 2

    • UI, HUD and map improvements

    • Mob balance improvements

    • And much more!

    The patch will be released about a week after the The Hunting Season, so make sure you keep an eye out for the full patch notes to see all the improvements.

    The Hunting Season is the fourth Lost Legend, but the previous three are still available! Each one brings a different challenge and an exclusive reward. Having trouble hunting the Beast?
