Now that fans actually have their hands on the game, it’s been discovered that microtransactions extend beyond just performance boosters, but are actually required if anyone wants to make a new character without deleting their old one....

The popular Minecraft spin off, Minecraft Dungeons, gives players a breadth of options for platforms.
