In other Minecraft-related news, it was recently reported that a The spin-off of the Minecraft strategy game is in development at the Minecraft Dungeons studio Double Eleven.

However, we did notice some RTS-themed job listings at Double Eleven, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this rumor actually turned out to be true.
