This is the best summary I could come up with:

This is a pretty sizeable shift in the leadership of Mojang, but it should be noted that business will more-or-less continue as usual.

Chiang is maintaining oversight over Mojang Studios and the ever-growing Minecraft franchise.

Now, Microsoft has confirmed to Windows Central that Bredin is the new studio head of Mojang in Chiang's place.

Minecraft is preparing to celebrate its 15-year anniversary in 2024, and we're expecting surprises in that department.

One update we know is coming is Minecraft 1.21, which has been confirmed (along with its first official features), although it's still a long way off from a full release.

In other Microsoft news, our very own Jez Corden recently interviewed Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer about Xbox, Game Pass, handhelds, and much more.

The original article contains 346 words, the summary contains 125 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

1.12 is a long way off from a full release

Looking at the size of previous updates, there's only ~5 more lines of code to write!
