Here’s some good news for superhero-loving Minecraft fans — there’s a new Superman skin pack up for grabs.
And best of all, the pack — which contains skins for Superman, Lois Lane, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific — is available now from the Minecraft Marketplace for free.
It’s all to tie in, of course, with James Gunn’s new big-screen take on Superman, which is out later this week (July 11) and sees Superman fighting to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as the new DCU properly kicks off.
Superman stars David Corenswet as the titular hero — who replaces prior leading man, Henry Cavill — Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, as well as Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.
In our Superman movie review, we slapped it with a healthy 8/10, writing: “Superman is a wonderfully entertaining, heartfelt cinematic reset for the Man of Steel, and a great start for the DCU on the big screen.”
Last week Minecraft announced a raft of new features to make use of the copper resource — including the long-awaited debut of copper golems. Not only will Minecraft now let you craft copper tools and armor, the copper golem from Minecraft’s 2021 Mob Vote is finally being added, after remaining a fan-favourite concept over the years.
And don’t forget that last month, Minecraft got a big graphical update courtesy of its Vibrant Visuals update — but only on supported platforms for now.
