Minecraft Bedrock: Turtles and Phantoms will NOT be in the launch of Update Aquatic

So Mobs are cool right? They have AI which interact with players and the world. But all mobs have certain behaviors and they can sometimes get left behind. Which is what is happening for Turtles and Phantoms on Bedrock.

Where was this confirmed?

It was confirmed by Helen, Jess and (The newest member of the community team) Nova!

WHAT? Why arent they being added?

They just need more work. They are a bit complex as Helen confirms so they need a bit more time.
