Announcement: Bosses Coming Soon to MCPE and Win 10!

What could be better than summoning a boss and defeating it to prove your gaming prowess? Until now, this was the hardest part to implement in Minecraft Pocket Edition for mobile devices and Windows 10. But now bosses are coming to the game with a massive new update called Boss Update!

Thanks to update 0.16, the gameplay and possibilities of the game will completely change! Soon, mobile version players of Minecraft will unite to fight fierce bosses! But the developers didn't stop there. The update also brings an underwater fortress and a bunch of "trinkets" for you to explore! New blocks, beacons, and commands - that's what awaits you in the game!

With the update, you'll be able to fight one of the bosses of the Minecraft world - the Wither! Get ready to venture into the Nether. Collect soul sand and wither skeleton skulls, then summon the boss and finish it off! Defeating it will give you valuable loot - a Nether star and sponges!

This update also includes new commands that players have been waiting for a long time. Take control of the game by changing time, weather, and much more! You'll also be able to spawn mobs and more. This update includes 20 commands, but the development team will add even more commands in the future.

The Boss Update will be completely free for Pocket Edition, Windows 10 Edition, and Gear VR Edition. If you play on Android and have purchased the game, you can now apply for the beta version of the update. You can do that here - MCPE Beta.

More information about the update will be at Minecon 2016, which will take place from September 24 to 25.
