Pocket Realms shutting down March 1st, PE 0.9.0 to include wolves

mcpe_wolfToday Mojang made a post on their company blog explaining where they are in development of Pocket Edition. It's a bit odd, considering they haven't used their blog to talk about Pocket Edition in a very long time. Regardless, they do have some interesting news for us starting with Pocket Realms. The post reads, "Another note for those of you who are involved in the beta testing phase of Pocket Realms: we’re pausing access to the service on the 1st of March. The Realms team is currently focused on the upcoming release of PC Realms. Once that’s done, we’ll be in a better place to work on Pocket Realms and make it as good as it possibly can be, which will be later this year."

The page goes on to mention that a date for Pocket Realms to start back up again is unknown at this time, and if when it does come back on it will still be in beta. Pocket Realms is currently in a closed beta, and when it is completed will be a paid service by Mojang.

 

The post does have some better news though, as seen above wolves are currently being added to PE 0.9.0. The above picture is captioned with, "We’re working on restructuring a lot of code to allow significantly  bigger worlds in future updates. We’re also updating the AI, inventory, and a bunch of other things. Unfortunately we don’t have a release date yet, but so far, everything is going to plan."

So there you have it, Pocket Realms is shutting down for an undisclosed amount of time and wolves are confirmed for Pocket Edition 0.9.0. You can see the original post in the source link below, and let us know in the comments what other mobs you would like to see in 0.9.0!
