Minecraft Earth gives franchise a Pokémon Go twist

Microsoft is taking Minecraft for a stroll. The company today announced Minecraft Earth, a free-to-play augmented reality mobile game that appears to take some cues from Niantic's hit Pokémon Go.
Set to enter beta testing this summer, Minecraft Earth will let players build things together like in the original Minecraft and then allow them to place those structures throughout the real world. By exploring their neighborhoods, players will also gather resources for building, discover new things they can use in their creations and battle creatures new and old.
