Minecraft is coming to the next-gen consoles eventually, though the release date for either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One is still up in the air.

While fans wait, a new video has emerged of a gamer envisioning what Minecraft would look like on a better engine that the game runs on now, such as CryEngine.

The gamer, under YouTube handle 18T220, said that he or she “Made a little Minecraft scene in CryEngine with some breakable blocks.”

Check it out below.

In March, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer indicated that the Xbox One version is “ever close” to being completed, reported IGN. ”I talked to [4J Studios] last night,” Spencer said. “They feel really good about the progress that they’re making. It’s their game, and it’d be Mojang’s game. We graciously host it on our platform.

“But unlike on 360 where they had never been on console before and the developer relationship, I’ll say, was very tight from the beginning, this is something that’s really in their hands now,” Spencer continued. “They’re a full-fledged developer in every sense. They control the [release] date of that, but I’ll tell people that we’re getting really close. I talked with Notch [aka Mojang founder Markus Persson] last night, and they’re really excited about the quality.”

Weeks ago, 4J has indicated that the PS 4 and Xbox One editions are being “worked on,” according to the company Twitter feed. “The main thing we’re working on is Minecraft Editions for Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita, and Patch 1.06 for PS3 :) ” 4J wrote.
