Cadw has joined forced with Minecraft Education to launch a Welsh language version.
Wales is one of the highest users of Minecraft Education in the world and this will be the first time children will be able to access it in Welsh.
The move aims to encourage the use of Welsh by learners and fluent speakers alike.
The bilingual Minecraft version of Castell Conwy will be the first to feature, but a new location will be added every month until a total of 20 other sites Cadw is responsible for are included in this first stage.
Each new site will be supported by a virtual launch and training sessions for teachers and all resources will be hosted on the education resource website Hwb with a link from the Cadw website.
Minister for culture and skills Jack Sargeant said: “This is a huge and innovative programme, and I am delighted to help launch this fantastic new Welsh language version of Minecraft.
“Not only does it celebrate the heritage of Wales, but through accompanying resources and activities, it will inspire children to explore their own history and culture, hopefully to research and build their own versions of these historical sites.”
Justin Edwards, director learning experience Minecraft, said: “Minecraft Education is delighted by the continued innovative use of Minecraft within the classrooms of Wales.
“This project, which is particularly important to the topic of cultural heritage and science, shows that game-based learning can provide immersive and engaging curriculum experiences that are relevant to the National Curriculum of Wales.”
