'Minecraft' Finally Offers a Girl Character for Free
Lots of girls play Minecraft, but you wouldn't be able to tell it apart by the default character options. Unless you've been willing to spend money or install a mod your only real choice to date has been Steve the game's male character. At last, though, things are opening up -- Mojang is giving builders the option of a female character that is free, Alex. Alex was previously an unassigned character in the computer version, but this move will allow female gamers on all platforms sculpt their ideal worlds with the character they are familiar with. Lion Is The King Of The Jungle PlayStation and Xbox gamers will be able to play Alex on the 29th of April, and mobile users playing the Pocket Edition should see her in the summer.
