Minecraft news » MCPE/Win10: Boss Update Coming Soon

Is Pocket Edition too easy? Do you often find youself wandering and thinking, "If only I had a terrifying monster to test my mettle, I could be complete?"

Update 0.16 will see the inclusion of at least two heavy-hitting monsters that have eluded portable players for some time now - the Elder Guardian, and the Wither! Of course, it's not all monsters and mayhem - in addition, the update will also add new slash commands, the shiny beacon, and (naturally, to compliment the Guardian) underwater temples to explore! More is included as well, though Mojang is keeping a pretty tight lid on it for the moment, in anticipation of Minecon.

Fighting a Wither is challenging enough on desktop or console, but could you defeat one in Pocket Edition? Will slash commands finally give players the flexibility they need to get the most out of Minecraft? Time will tell!

Players interested in beta-testing 0.16 can sign up right here to do so; bear in mind that while testing, you will not have access to any Realms, and must revert to 0.15.6 to play on them again.
