According to a report, a new Minecraft game is in development and it may be a strategy game from the team behind Minecraft Dungeons. It is rumored that a Minecraft RTS-style game is in development. Could this be revealed at the Xbox Showcase during summer Game Fest?
In case you didn't see it yesterday, Jeff Gerstmann, Giant Bomb's games journalist and conduit for leaks, is leaving Giant Bomb. But don’t expect that this will be the end to his rumour mill. Gerstmann now states in a video posted on his Twitch channel (via ResetEra) that there is "a new Minecraft spinoff in development."
Microsoft is apparently "testing" it right now, Gerstmann stating that he has seen screenshots of it. Gerstmann also said that he has seen screenshots of it which make it look like a real time strategy game. Gerstmann claimed that he had seen some screenshots which made it appear like Overlord. It will also have "story and cutscenes."

As for who's developing it, Minecraft Dungeons studio Double Eleven - which is currently working on Fallout 76 - has job listings for an unannounced "major IP, RTS game," which sounds too big a coincidence to discount.
It's possible that the Minecraft RTS game could be revealed at the Xbox Showcase. That link will take you to the Summer Game Fest schedule and information about when it will be available.
