Anticipation for the announcement of the Minecraft: Xbox One Edition release date intensifies.

There is no specific update made yet regarding the official Minecraft Xbox One edition release date. However, Daniel Kaplan, Mojang Manager, said that the game is coming. From a post on Xbox Wire, he was asked if there is any big news for the Minecraft: Xbox One Edition and he simply said:

It is coming, eventually!

Moreover, Kaplan also revealed that having larger worlds in Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will not be a problem. He was asked about the "the most requested feature addition for "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition" from users" and he answered, with reference to Xbox One:

Probably bigger worlds. We're pushing the limitations of the 360 in various different ways and we will continue doing that. However, bigger worlds would require the guarantee of a hard drive on each 360; since not all 360's ship with hard drives that makes things tricky. Luckily, on Xbox One, that's not an issue.

Aside from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, the open-world sandbox game is also set to arrive for the PS4. And according to Mojang, the game publisher for Minecraft, PS4 and Xbox One versions, the console versions are being worked on already. Mojang stated, "For you guys asking about the Xbox One and Playstation 4 edition: It is being worked on as we speak! I got no proper dates yet, but hopefully soon we can tell you!"

Phil Spencer, Xbox Head, also revealed that the Minecraft Xbox One Edition release should happen soon. He told IGN,

"I talked to [4J Studios] last night. They feel really good about the progress that they're making. It's their game, and it'd be Mojang's game. We graciously host it on our platform."

He also noted that the ultimate decision regarding the official Minecraft Xbox One and PS4 release date will come from the console version developer 4J Studios and publisher Mojang.
