Reforj might be the Minecraft 2 fans have been looking for

Minecraft is one of the most popular games in the world despite being over 15 years old. Mojang Studios releases regular updates and content every year and has not released a second part of the game. However, that does not mean fans have not asked for it. For years players have thought about what a sequel to the game would look and play like. Now, it seems they may soon get to play it.

Out of many fan projects that tried to create part two of Minecraft, Reforj is the game that came the closest. Inspired by the blocky game, it aimed to add many new mechanics and items. Developed by an indie studio named 4J Studios, a lot of hype has been built around it, especially recently.

So the question remains, could it be a worthy sequel to a game that is loved by millions? Let's find out.

Could Reforj serve as a sequel to Minecraft?

While the name 4J Studios may not sound familiar to some, the development studio shares a long history with Minecraft, including porting the game for consoles. The idea of making a title inspired by the blocky game is not new, and the developers have been working on it for years.

There is some good news for those awaiting an update. The game's official X handle and 4J Studios' handle on the platform shared some images showing how far the game has come, which is impressive, to say the least. While the game is not as blocky as the original one, it is clear that the developers have drawn inspiration from it in more ways than one.

As mentioned in the tweet, the game is in a pre-alpha state and 4J Studios will be working with the community to proceed with the development. This means that they will likely be receptive to feedback and suggestions to make it a game that the fans want.

It was also announced that Reforj will be using the Elements game engine, which is developed in-house by the studio. This should give the developers more control and power over the game mechanics and visual appearance, offering a smoother and more stable gameplay experience.

The developers are expected to reveal more information about the game and perhaps even the gameplay in the near future.
