The darkest depths of the overworld have opened its doors, welcoming brave heroes willing to risk it all in search of loot, glory, and lore. So, today, we explore all the confirmed details of Minecraft Dungeons 2, including the Minecraft Dungeons 2 release date, mechanics, and potential ancient city portal content.

What Is Minecraft Dungeons 2?

Minecraft Dungeons 2 is an upcoming action-RPG adventure set within the world of Minecraft that can be played alone or with up to three friends. It will take players to explore yet-unseen Minecraft lore regarding ancient cities and possibly even what lies beyond the portals within them. The first entry in the series played from a top-down perspective with a focus on exploration, combat, and looting. It is unknown how much the sequel will deviate from this, as no gameplay or changes have been revealed.

Minecraft Dungeons 2 Release Date

Minecraft Dungeons 2 is confirmed to be releasing in the fall of 2026 on Xbox Series X & S, PS5, Switch 1 & 2, Steam, and PC. However, no release month or day has yet been specified. As soon as they are shared, we will have them updated here! Those with the ultimate tier of Xbox Game Pass can also look forward to enjoying this highly anticipated sequel for free. The game will be available on Xbox Game Pass the same day of its release, if not right away.

Cost

The cost of a standalone copy of Minecraft Dungeons 2 is currently unknown. However, Xbox Game Pass holders who are subscribed to the $29.99 USD ultimate tier will be able to access the game on the day of its release for free.

Potential Content

The trailer released during Minecraft Live suggests that the game will explore ancient cities and the portals that lie dormant within them. This lines up with previous leaks for a Mojang project under the name “Spicewood” that fans believed was the next Minecraft Dungeons.
