[UPDATE] When asked if the Journey to the West pack would be making its way to platforms other than PC and mobile, a Microsoft spokesperson gave us this response:

　　"Each version of Minecraft has different development schedules and timelines for new skin packs and content. We look forward to releasing new and fun content for each in the future, so stay tuned!"

　　The original story follows:

　　The Lunar New Year is upon us and Minecraft is getting some new skins to celebrate. Players will be able to dress as characters from the classic Chinese tale, Journey to the West.

　　The Journey to the West skin pack is available right now and includes 15 different characters such as Princess Iron Fan, Lord Hundred-Eyes, and the Monkey King. The entire collection costs $1.99, but players will be able to download characters Red Boy and Guanyin for free.

　　The pack is only available for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition (which remains in beta) and Pocket Edition on mobile devices. There has been no mention of it coming to other consoles, but we've contacted Microsoft and will update this story if more information becomes available.
