Summary
"This world takes English language immersion beyond the classroom into a magical Minecraft library full of mini games, with a fairy sidekick," said head of Minecraft Education Allison Matthews.
“Young learners exploring our world will be able to practise their English skills, have fun and start a learning adventure they will never forget," said Belinda Cerdá, head of digital partnerships at Cambridge Assessment English.
The game comes from the same team in Cambridge who produce the "World-famous" Cambridge English Qualifications, taken by people internationally.
While the game is generally marketed towards children, the game "Can be enjoyed by children and adults" on their "English language learning journey".
"As more and more Minecraft players and families download educational maps to play at home, we are excited to offer this top-tier language learning content to the broader Minecraft community," Matthews added.
It is Minecraft's first foray into wholly educational gaming, as it is the first education game available to buy in the Minecraft Marketplace.
Players can buy the game in the Minecraft Marketplace here.
