There will not be a 'Minecraft 2'. Microsoft explains why

With such a popular and lucrative series as 'Minecraft' one would expect Mojang and Microsoft to bet on multiple titles that seek to maximize revenue. However, it seems that it is not in Microsoft's plans to bet on a 'Minecraft 2'."I think this does not make sense to 'Minecraft', given the community. It's something that always fractures the community, "he told Microsoft's Minecraft division chief Helen Chiang in an interview with Business Insider.Given that the nearly 100 million monthly players of 'Minecraft' play together in online mode, launching a second title would inevitably create divisions among the game community, which is regarded as one of the main forces of the series.Microsoft's strategy to take advantage of 'Minecraft' is based primarily on spin-offs such as 'Minecraft: Story Mode' and the recently announced 'Minecraf: Dungeons'.
