Microsoft has announced release dates for a number of high profile Xbox Live Arcade titles, as part of its new Arcade Next season.

As detailed on its Major Nelson's blog, the XBLA version of Minecraft launches on 9th May, priced at 1600 Microsoft Points.

Stunt bike sequel Trials Evolution lands on 18th April, priced at 1200 Points. That's followed a week later by gory hack and slash effort Bloodforge, also for 1200 Points.

Then franchise spin-off Fable Heroes arrives on 2nd May, for a modest 800 Points.

All four titles will offer 400 gamerscore points, following Microsoft's decision to up the limit from 200 earlier this month.
