Minecraft Dungeons Arcade will implement a system of collectable cards which will grant certain advantages within the game, thanks to its interaction with NPC technology.

In total, 60 physical cards will be released in the course of the following months, which will take the game a step beyond the typical gaming experiences in this kind of arcade cabinets.

Will Carlin, creative director at Play Mechanix, compared both versions of the game: "If you take a step back, you can see the similarities between the two, but when you take a step into [a consumer] game, it's like a waltz.

"An arcade game on the other hand is some kind of super break-dancing speed experience - it's about intensity of the moment, and surviving as long as possible - an intense burst of fun! "
