When Microsoft decided to buy Minecraft via a huge deal with Mojang, everyone was surprised by the huge value of the deal, which amounted to about $ 2.5 billion and they wondered whether this game would really succeed, which justifies paying that amount.
But Minecraft over the past years has proven to be a hugely popular game and has been able to achieve a lot of success for Microsoft, prompting one of the media professionals to ask Helen Chiang, the company's chief of staff, about the possibility of doing a second part in the future.

Helen said that Microsoft is not planning to introduce Minecraft 2 because of its keenness on the game's huge community of players. It believes that introducing a new part will contribute to the division of the players community so they prefer to update the current game and develop it with more content and advantages instead of working on a new version.

We are trying to keep the players community uniform, so we are offering updates for the game for free, we do not want to ask players to move from Mainkraft 1 to Mainkraft 2 we just want them to enjoy the game of Minecraft
There are other ways to expand the game experience rather than follow other companies that are introducing new parts to their games.

It was confirmed today that the number of monthly active players of the game Minkraft 91 million, which exceeds the popular game Fortnite, which reached the number of players in August last month to 78.3 million players.

Microsoft has announced a new minecraft game called "Minecraft: Dungeons" for PC.
