Minecraft evolving from Alpha to Beta, increasing in price

Despite being only in its infancy, the sandbox game “Minecraft“ has become nothing short of a gaming phenomenon.  An astounding two million gamers have gotten their hands on this baby, and today developer Markus “Notch” Persson announced that “Minecraft” is taking its first big step: it’s going Beta.

“Minecraft will reach Beta status on December 20th, 2010,” wrote Persson on his Tumblr page.  Among the many enhancements, expect a more polished “Minecraft” with more content, a narrative and increased modding capabilities.

However, all these new features come at a price.  Once in Beta, “Minecraft” will cost 14.95 euros, up from its current price of 9.95 euros.  That’s as good a reason as any to buy the game before the Beta launches.

There’s still another reason why now is the best time to buy “Minecraft.” Those who purchase the game during its current Alpha phase will, as promised, get all updates for free.  If you wait until the game reaches Beta status, the license will be different, and updates after the official launch of the game will not be free.

So go claim your copy now, and, while you’re at it, get another for a friend.  Gift codes will launch soon, just in time for Christmas.
