After seeing live gameplay at WWDC last month, the launch of iOS-first is not surprising. Although this trailer contains a lot of info on the game's gameplay and what it will be like, interested players might want to revisit the Apple demo to get more impressions of the experience to play in a virtual Minecraft world with their friends.
