The Minecraft devs have confirmed that The Wild update is due to launch on June 7.

The Wild update, also known as Minecraft 1.19, will launch simultaneously across both Minecraft: Java Edition on PC and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iOS, Android, and (again) PC.

The Wild introduces two major new biomes. The first is known as the deep dark, which as the name suggests will appear far underground. This place challenges you to be stealthy. If you trigger a shrieker block, you'll have to deal with an extremely deadly new enemy known as the warden - perhaps Minecraft's most dangerous mob yet.

We're also getting frogs, though the devs have walked back plans for fireflies in the update. We are still getting the allay, a fan-voted mob that can help you collect items.
