To go along with a physical luxury fashion capsule collection, there's a new Burberry x Minecraft universe. Officially dubbed Burberry: Freedom to Go Beyond, this in-game adventure includes extensions and experiences as well as downloadable skins for players. The digitally immersive adventure will be launching on the first of November but not before Burberry subscribers get exclusive early access to the capsule collection and its accessories. Pixelated recreations of the luxury looks bring a new level of style and sophistication to the game played by millions worldwide.
Burberry x Minecraft gives players the chance to outfit their avatars like never before with styles influenced by the luxury label. Players who are interested in shopping the physical collection can do so online through Burberry, as well as select global stores and pop-ups.
