Minecraft Live 2026: Chessington World of Adventures Announces New Minecraft Themed Land

Breaking from Minecraft Live!

Merlin Entertainments and Mojang Studios have officially announced Minecraft World, the first-ever fully immersive Minecraft-themed land at a major theme park. Opening in 2027 at Chessington World of Adventures in Greater London, this £50 million project will bring the best-selling video game of all time into the real world!

What to expect in Minecraft World:

A world-first Minecraft-themed rollercoaster

Interactive adventures and epic blockbuilt playscapes

Themed retail and dining

A host of fan favourites and “ridiculous fun” straight from the Minecraft universe

Concept drawings for the area have also been released, giving fans a first look at the new land. Microsoft and Mojang Studios have worked with gamers and iconic Minecraft creators to build real gameplay-inspired experiences into the area, making it feel like stepping into the Minecraft Overworld.

Angela Jobson, SVP of Global Brand at Merlin Entertainments said:

"Minecraft World will allow friends and families to play, explore and craft together on a truly epic scale."

Torfi Frans Ólafsson, Senior Creative Director of Entertainment at Minecraft added:

"We're thrilled to realise a place where you can literally be in the Minecraft Overworld and have an adventure of your own."

Just a 35-minute train ride from London Waterloo, Minecraft World is set to be one of Chessington’s most ambitious developments in recent years.
