Despite the Microsoft sellout last year, "Minecraft" enthusiasts should not worry about this year's Minecon, because Microsoft Studios had already declared they would not interfere with the annual gathering of "Minecraft" enthusiasts.
Minecon 2015 would be heading to London, England following Microsoft Studios' acquisition of the "Minecraft" franchise and one of its developers, Mojang, which amounted to US$2.5 billion. Microsoft had given the team handling "Minecraft" enough independence over the management of the sandbox independent video game.
Add to that, Microsoft had already expressed it full support for any programs setup for the gaming "community that had made the 'Minecraft' game great." They added that they would want to "listen, learn, and be inspired" from the gaming community. Minecon 2015 would be set on July 4th, following the US Independence day celebration; tickets would be sold starting today and would be sold through two batches.
As for the Minecon 2015 program, Microsoft had be letting very little information out as nothing has been official published at the moment. However, a few favorite 'Mojangstas' and high-profile 'YouTubers' would be gracing the event. Microsoft Studios added that they would allow Mojang to spearhead the management of the Minecon and only come forward where help was needed.
Meanwhile, the game developers have also released the details on the "Minecraft" patch 1.15 of PS4, PS3 and PS Vita editions. "Minecraft" "Mass Effect" Mash-Up and Texture Pack DLC would benefit mostly from the recent patch 1.15.
