NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J., May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Horizon Group USA, a leading force in creative play and DIY innovation, has announced its latest licensing agreement with the world’s most popular video game, Minecraft. This partnership marks Horizon’s official expansion into the fandom space and reinforces its mission to Connecting People Through Creativity by transforming digital content and storylines into meaningful, hands-on experiences that bring fans together beyond the screen.

Leveraging its expertise in trend-driven toy development, Horizon will bring Minecraft’s block-based universe to life through immersive, hands-on formats—from tactile play and STEM dig kits to core categories like compounds. Rooted in the power of fandom as a shared connection, the collaboration invites fans to build, craft, and reimagine iconic in-game moments in the real world, turning individual passion into collective creativity.

“Fandom fuels the energy of creativity,” said Evan Buzzerio, Partner & CCO of Horizon Group. “Our partnership with Minecraft unlocks our passion for Minecraft’s most beloved digital elements and bringing them into the physical world, providing more ways to interact with the Minecraft universe through tactile, creative play and learning.”

The move into gaming underscores Horizon’s broader commitment to licensed innovation that brings people together through shared experience. By bridging entertainment and hands-on play, the company continues to turn fandom into a platform for connection––empowering fans to build, explore, and create without limits, just like they do in Minecraft.

Fans can expect to see Horizon’s Minecraft-inspired product line debut this summer at mass retailers, including Amazon and Walmart.
