Minecraft for Windows 10 and Minecraft Pocket Edition get Campfire Tales skin pack and minor update

Kit McDonald

Mojang is following through with more promises from Minecon. Turning onto the Windows 10 Beta Edition and Minecraft Pocket Edition (also powering the Gear VR version), the game got a new skin pack and update last night (via Windows Central).

The Campfire Tales skin pack is available for purchase in the Minecraft application. Of course, as per usual, two skins are available to play for free. The rest of the sixteen horror themed skins are available for a small price tag of $1.99. Mojang even stepped out of their shell and created some backgrounds to the eerie characters.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t nearly as exciting as the Boss Update that we heard about at E3, it’s certainly a welcome addition given the spooky holidays approaching. Watch out for the next big patch coming October 18th!
