Minecraft, a simple game now turned into a worldwide gaming phenomenon, is now about to be turned into a movie.

The upcoming release of A Minecraft Movie will change the way the game is viewed forever, with big names like Jack Black and Jason Momoa, people are bound to show up to movie theaters to watch a film unlike any others that have been made before.

The big question is though, how will this impact the video game? Having a movie made about a video game is bound to bring in a completely new player base of people who might not have otherwise played before.

Having this new type of exposure is going to show the world that there is more to Minecraft than just a gaming platform, it is a community of creative people who all come together for one purpose, to have fun on Minecraft.

Having increased visibility will allow for fans of the actors themselves to try out the game, and who knows, eventually become a fan of the game for what it is and not for the movie.

Having more people play means an increase in new updates and releases of new mobs, biomes, etc. The possibilities are now endless for what Minecraft can do with the game.

They are now able to bring in new players and brainstorm a way to make the game more enticing for those who only watch the movie and want to pursue the gaming platform afterwards. More eyes on the game are going to mean a higher demand for success.

It will be up to the creators not only of the game itself but of the servers within Minecraft to relate the movie to the game. Not only will it bring in new fans, but also players who used to play but have drifted away from the game.

It will pull in players that have not been on in weeks, months, years, and show them why they miss the game itself through the excitement of the movie and its release. The movie, whether good or bad, will bring back the conversation of Minecraft in people’s minds and they will soon begin to crave that feeling of nostalgia that they used to feel when logging onto Minecraft to join a world to explore and create.

A Minecraft Movie, it is something that will completely alter the path of Minecraft for good. Once it is out in theaters and people of all ages go to view it, there will be a resurgence in player numbers on the game itself. Minecraft is successful without the movie, but with it now under its belt, the game is going to be unstoppable.
