Minecraft dungeons 2 announced: sequel arriving this fall

Mojang Studios has officially confirmed a sequel to its action-oriented spin-off, Minecraft Dungeons. The announcement, made during Minecraft Live on March 2026, signals a return to the dungeon-crawling genre with a full-fledged follow-up slated for release this fall. The game will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Expanding the blocky universe

The original Minecraft Dungeons, launched in May 2020, offered a distinct departure from the sandbox core of Minecraft, embracing a Diablo-like combat system. While not a runaway commercial success initially, the game steadily gained a dedicated following, bolstered by numerous free updates including crossplay and significant expansions. Mojang ended development in 2023 after surpassing 25 million players – a testament to the game's enduring appeal.

Details surrounding Minecraft Dungeons 2 remain scarce, but the announcement confirms Mojang’s commitment to nurturing this corner of the Minecraft universe. Expect a deeper dive into the game's mechanics, new challenges, and unexplored territories within the familiar Minecraft aesthetic. A gameplay reveal is anticipated soon, though a specific release date beyond "this fall" has yet to be disclosed.

The original Minecraft Dungeons earned a 7/10 in our review. Stay tuned for further updates as Mojang unveils more about this highly anticipated sequel. The studio's track record suggests a game poised to evolve beyond its predecessor, offering a richer, more expansive experience for fans.
