Merlin Entertainments has announced a partnership with Mojang Studios to create Minecraft-themed amusement parks and attractions. The company plans to invest $110 million into the project, with openings expected in 2026-2027.
Partnering with Merlin Entertainments is an incredibly exciting step for us at Mojang Studios. Merlin's expertise in creating world-class attractions makes them the perfect partner to help us bring Minecraft to life in new and immersive ways in permanent locations around the globe. Our vast and diverse community is always looking for new opportunities to explore and engage with Minecraft, and we are thrilled to build touchpoints around the globe that will surprise and delight them. These new real-life Minecraft experiences will not only grow our community but also offer fans many more opportunities to immerse themselves in the world of Minecraft in ways they've never imagined.
Future park visitors can expect not only themed attractions but also special food and drinks. Merlin Entertainments refers to the project as «Minecraft in Real Life».
The parks are planned to open in the UK and the US, with hopes to launch attractions in other countries later on.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Pictures is preparing a Minecraft movie set to release in April 2025. A full trailer featuring the main characters was recently released online.
