Minecraft for PlayStation and Xbox consoles received a new update and a Mash-Up pack on Friday. Title Update 27 is mainly focused on fixes from the previous update for the open-world sandbox title. Meanwhile, the mash-up pack takes a Minecraft spin on Greek mythology.
The Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack is available now from the Xbox Store for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 . It’s also available on the PlayStation Store for the PS4 , PS3 , and PS Vita . The pack costs $3.99 and brings mythical Greek creatures, gods, and locations to Minecraft . It goes further than just character and mob textures though by also adding a themed UI and orchestral soundtrack.
Screenshots shared so far show Medusa and Perseus, the Trojan Horse, Hercules, plus Zeus and the rest of the Greek gods. You can take a look in the gallery below and see if you can call out your favorite mythological Greek characters and locations.
