Will you and your allies prevail against the forces of evil and save the day once more?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The original Minecraft Dungeons delivered an action-focused twist for the Minecraft universe when it launched for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in May 2020. Although it only managed to land in 15th place for that month\u2019s top-selling games, players gravitated to its Diablo-like gameplay over time.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Following a number of free updates, including one that added crossplay, and multiple expansion packs, Mojang ended development on Minecraft Dungeons in 2023. In a note to fans at the time, the studio declared that the project had \u201cexceeded our wildest dreams\u201d after reaching 25 million players.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Minecraft Dungeons 2 Minecraft Live Trailer &#8211; Screenshots<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Today\u2019s Minecraft Dungeons 2 announcement only offers a tease for how Mojang will expand on this corner of its blocky universe. For now, it\u2019s unclear when additional updates, including a first look at gameplay, will arrive, but with its release date planned for sometime in the near future, it shouldn\u2019t be too long before Mojang has more to share.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Minecraft Dungeons 2 will release at an unspecified point this fall.
