Of course, there will also be loot! Loads of it. Grab it all, or share with up to three friends as you co-operate to save a world in crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And though &#8220;it might seem obvious&#8221;, Mojang stressed that yes, &#8220;Minecraft Dungeons 2 is the sequel to Minecraft Dungeons&#8221;, adding: &#8220;There&#8217;s never been a better time to catch up if you&#8217;re late to the party. We&#8217;ll share more news soon!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t be that much of a surprise. 2020&#8217;s dungeon crawler was a huge hit, clocking up over 10 million players by February 2021, and 25 million players by April 2024, making it the most successful Minecraft spin-off yet. The original game, of course, is the second-biggest selling game of all-time, out-selling Grand Theft Auto 5 and Wii Sports with 350 million sales. Only Tetris has sold more.<\/p>\n<p>We thought the first Minecraft Dungeons was &#8220;promising&#8221; when it released back in 2020, suggesting it &#8220;rounds out a strong extension to the franchise, and by far the most promising Minecraft spin-off released to date&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surprise!
