Minecraft partners with Tourism New Zealand and Warner Bros' to launch a destination DLC

Minecraft has collaborated with Tourism New Zealand and Warner Bros' to create Aotearoa New Zealand, the first-ever destination DLC in the sandbox title. It allows Bedrock edition players to essentially explore the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand. The itinerary of the tour-themed add-on takes players to six exciting destinations inspired by real-life places.

Players can explore the six following spots and engage in activities in the Bedrock add-on:

• Waitomo Caves
• Rotorua
• Kāpiti Island
• Abel Tasman
• Tekapo
• Doubtful Sound

The intricately crafted add-on helps players learn about Māori culture, customs, and taonga (treasures). The world also contains a host of NPCs, including kāumatua (elders), who are based on real people from New Zealand. All these come together to deliver an authentic and hands-on experience of what it would be like to visit the Land of the Long White Cloud in person.

In the DLC, players take on the role of a filmmaker and are tasked with completing a variety of unique challenges and quests across the six destinations. They can film wildlife, geothermal activities, and beautiful constellations at nighttime. Do note that this add-on can be downloaded for free from the Minecraft Marketplace.

As for adventure, the add-on offers activities like paddling a waka in Abel Tasman, discovering glowworms in Waitomo, and even navigating a traditional boat in Doubtful Sound. Players can also spot rare native birds on Kāpiti Island, which adds to the entire experience.

With A Minecraft Movie just around the corner, Mojang is busy promoting the live-action film, partnering with brands such as Doritos, Oreo, and even Fossil. Their latest partnership with Tourism New Zealand adds to the ever-expanding bingo book of brands and franchises associated with the bestselling title.
