Minecraft is giving away a pack of five Superman themed skins for free

While you can painstakingly recreate your favorite videogame, comic, or movie character yourself in Minecraft, sometimes you just want the convenience of grabbing a skin pack from the marketplace. If you're lucky, you may even find some freebies, and in celebration of the new Superman movie, Minecraft has just released yet another free skin pack for you to take advantage of. Containing five skins depicting core characters from the movie, including Superman himself, it's available to grab right now.

With iconic Warhammer 40k player - I mean, actor - Henry Cavill stepping away from the Superman suit, it's time for David Corenswet to take up the mantle. Releasing this weekend, the new Superman movie will, ironically, be going toe to toe with A Minecraft Movie to be one of this year's biggest new releases. Despite the competition, Mojang is down to celebrate the return of Superman on the big screen with some new Minecraft skins.

Conveniently called the 'Superman Skin Pack,' it contains incredibly detailed skins for Superman, Lois Lane, Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and the Green Lantern, with the designs based on their appearance in the new film. Put together by the prolific team at Oreville Studios, the titular hero himself is definitely the highlight, but if you're a particular fan of these other DC characters then you're in for a treat as well.

The Superman Skin Pack is available to claim for free from the Minecraft marketplace right now. Head here if you want to grab it.

It sounds like this is just the beginning for Mojang's support of the Superman movie. "Stay tuned for the Superman DLC coming soon!" the developer teases in an announcement post. While this will likely involve splurging some Minecoins, rather than getting everything for free, this will no doubt be of interest to all you DC fans out there.

This is all coming off the back of a rather momentous occasion for Minecraft - the debut of copper golems. Once a Mob Vote loser, these cute little bots are now one of the most helpful additions the game has seen to date. Plus, copper is now a gear tier for armor, tools, and weapons, giving newer players more options when it comes to enhancing their items.
