Minecraft Dungeons 2, a sequel to Microsoft’s dungeon crawler spinoff Minecraft Dungeons, will be released on September 29th.

The company originally revealed the game in a brief trailer in March, promising a fall 2026 release window. Here’s how Microsoft described it at the time:

Return to the world of Minecraft Dungeons in an all new action RPG adventure, brimming with high stakes encounters, thrilling challenges, and never before seen locations, as you set out to save a world in crisis. Will you and your allies prevail against the forces of evil and save the day once more?

Minecraft Dungeons 2 will be available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S.

The original Minecraft Dungeons launched in 2020, with my colleague Andrew Webster calling it a “lighter, more family-friendly take on Diablo.” There’s no mining or crafting in the game; instead, you tackle dungeons and loot cool gear.
