Minecraft Dungeons II is an upcoming dungeon crawler video game developed by Mojang Studios and Double Eleven and published by Xbox Game Studios.[1] It is a sequel to Minecraft Dungeons (2020) and is part of the Minecraft franchise.[2] The game is scheduled to release for Windows and home consoles on September 29, 2026.
Similar to its predecessor, Minecraft Dungeons II is a hack and slash-styled dungeon crawler. Up to four players can explore dungeons containing dangerous mobs to obtain loot and progress through the story. Loot comes in the form of collectable armor, tools, and weapons. However, the game adds a new plot and dungeons, several quality-of-life features, and a new art style. Major new features include a new jump ability, armor being split into four individual pieces, talismans that provide passive effects, and an improved inventory menu.[3]
Minecraft Dungeons II features an all new story continuing where Minecraft Dungeons left off. It is set to focus on a new emerging threat related to Minecraft's Deep Dark and Ancient Cities.[4]
The project was leaked early March 2025 as Project Spicewood and announced as Minecraft Dungeons II during the March 2026 Minecraft Live event.[5] During the June 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the game's release date of September 29, 2026 was announced.[6] It will be released for Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5.[6]
