Do you remember Markus “Notch” Persson, the original creator of Minecraft, who sold his game to Microsoft for $2.5 billion?
Although Notch is no longer working on the blocky sandbox game, he remains quite active in the video game industry. In his recent tweet, he revealed that he’s developing a roguelike game mixed with dungeon crawler elements, all wrapped in a first-person perspective that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
However, at the same time, he initiated a poll and asked netizens whether they were interested in playing the new original game he was working on, or if they actually preferred something like “Minecraft 2”.
Not actually Minecraft 2

It’s definitely not Minecraft 2, as that would violate the copyright owned by Microsoft and Mojang Studios. The game is described more as a spiritual successor to Minecraft.
I intend to do this in a way that doesn’t try to discredit Mojang’s incredible efforts in a sneaky way.

Despite this, he also admitted that the most feared aspect of creating a spiritual successor to a game is that it often ends in a “tragic” and disappointing way, mainly because it fails to deliver a similar experience and excellence.
Most internet users are more interested in a spiritual successor to Minecraft rather than the latest roguelike game. As of the time this article was written, 79% of users preferred “Minecraft 2”.
