Good news to Windows Phone Users, the highly acclaimed Minecraft game will now be part of Windows Phone.

After Microsoft bought Mojang, the developers of Minecraft for $2.5billion, Mojang confirmed that Minecraft: Pocket edition has been declared for the Windows Phone, according to Polygon.

Yesterday, the lead developer of the game, Jens Bergensten and Tommasco Checchi confirmed these juicy tidbits via Twitter.

According to Bergensten, "there's still much to do before any release," and the port is now working as confirmed. The lead developer has not given any date of Minecraft: Pocket Edition release date yet.

Android and iOS devices had already been released way back 2011.

Meanwhile, Mojang also announced that the Minecraft PS Vita Edition will be released this coming Tuesday, October 14 in North America digitally. The price is said to be at $19.99.

The retail version, on the other hand, will be launched on November 11, as reported by Playstation Blog.

Players of the PS3 version of the famous game will be able to transfer their existing saves to and from PS Vita edition and so as the PS4 edition. Players can upgrade to the PS4 edition for $4.99.

In Europe, the Minecraft PS Vita Edition release date is on Wednesday, October 15.

After Mojang was purchased by Microsoft last month, it has been said that Mojang's founders, which includes Markus "Notch" Persson, will no longer be with the company.
