The Noble Collection and Microsoft are teaming up for a new range of collectibles.

First teased back in February, The Noble Collection inked a licensing deal for a new line of products inspired by the hit video game Minecraft. Under the new deal, The Noble Collection will create a Minecraft Signature Edition Chess Set and an assortment of real-world prop replicas geared toward fans and collectors.

“The Noble Collection is extremely excited to partner with Minecraft and bring a new collectible experience to Minecraft players around the world,” says Julian Montoya, senior vice president of The Noble Collection. “Minecraft has one of the biggest communities in gaming. Players and collectors can expect to see an intricately detailed product line that brings the world of Minecraft to life, in true Noble Collection fashion.”

In recent years, The Noble Collection has expanded its product assortment to reach new audiences across a wide age group of kids and adults through licensing deals with top intellectual property (IP) owners.

The first Minecraft products will be available to preorder this holiday season with additional items set for release through 2023 and beyond.
