    Marketplace holiday mega-update!

    All the festive fun coming to Marketplace over the hols

    The holidays are so, so close - I can almost taste the indigestion from the multi-day eating marathon that will soon begin. Mmm-mmm. But bellies won’t be the only thing stuffed to bursting this festive season: Marketplace is getting properly plumped up on fresh community content, too, and unlike a seven kilo slice of Granny’s plum pudding, it won’t put you straight into a coma.

    In fact, some of this stuff is ALREADY AVAILABLE! Last Friday we put up a whole bunch of good stuff onto Marketplace, and this Thursday we’ll be doing the same. You'll be able to find it all by clicking this very link on your Minecraftin’ mobile device or Windows 10 machine. For legacy console edition players, however, you’ll be able to get one particular treat a little early: the Norse Mythology Mash-Up pack arrives today! Behold it in its Scandinavian splendour!

    Are you heroic enough to enter the Great Hall, Valhalla? Compose your own grand saga as you voyage through the 9 realms of this exquisitely crafted world, from the treetops of Yggdrasil, down into the mines of Svartalfheim and the depths of Hel! The third episode in the mythology series, this pack has hand-carved textures, a thunderous soundtrack and a horde of skins.

    Have a look at said skins below!

    “Skål!” as my Swedish co-workers say, before drinking deep from the skulls of their enemies / coffee mugs.

    Legacy players can get the pack here. The Mash-Up will come to the new versions of Minecraft for console, mobile and Windows 10 on Thursday (when you'll be able to click this link to find it). But what else will you find on Marketplace upon that day? Let me tell you!
