Minecraft developer Mojang has been rebranded as Mojang Studios
Minecraft maker Mojang has rebranded to better reflect its current status as a multi-studio operation, and will now be known as Mojang Studios. The Microsoft-owned company announced the news in a blog post celebrating Minecraft's 11th birthday, where it also unveiled a new logo.
"From our humble beginnings in Stockholm, we are entering the '20s as a multi-title, multi-location company. Following Minecraft Earth and Minecraft Dungeons, we’re planning a feature film, preparing an epic live show, and playing with ideas for brand new game," explained the company.
"There are also several studios around the world, all part of Mojang. Which, in a stroke of genius, inspired our new name Mojang Studios." It might only be a superficial change, but it's always good to stay in the know where multi-billion dollar game companies are concerned. And if you want to buy

"Play is at the heart of Mojang Studios. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even entangled in our name (which roughly translates to 'gadget' in lovely, old-timey Swedish). And now, finally, it's squarely planted in our new, modular logo."
The company's new name comes from the multiple global studios that are part of Mojang – hence Mojang Studios. Not only has the firm rebranded, but it is also "playing with ideas for brand new games."
