Minecraft Dungeons 2 will dungeon-crawl through the blockworld yet again when it launches later this year

Diablo-ish Minecraft spin-off Minecraft Dungeons has a sequel, and said sequel's coming retired astatine immoderate constituent successful 2026. What's it about? Well, Mojang say, "all was good until it wasn't". Wait, lads, that's beauteous overmuch the setup for each sequel and arguably communicative humanity's ever produced. Aye, Mojang say, but the mild-mannered villagers are connected fire, truthful you'd amended get your diamond sword polished.

Announced during this play conscionable gone's Minecraft Live, each we've seen of Minecraft Dungeons 2 frankincense acold is simply a abbreviated cinematic which some indicates and says that each is nary longer good via images of villagers having a bully clip and past moving from their burning houses. It past concludes with a dive down done immoderate large holes to a TV screen-looking happening heavy underwater.

The Steam leafage that's already up doesn't supply immoderate much of a look astatine the crippled than this cinematic, but does uncover that Dungeons 2's slated to travel retired this autumn. "A caller menace stirs, acceptable to descend upon the onshore and its inhabitants to origin unspeakable mayhem," the blurb continues, remaining vaguer than a teen asked to explicate their whereabouts connected Saturday night. "Become a leader and instrumentality connected foes dissimilar thing you’ve faced before, travel done long‑forgotten locations, and clash with the forces of evil erstwhile more!"

Minecraft's spin-offs person been a spot deed and miss, with RTS Minecraft Legends earning a mixed verdict from us. The archetypal Dungeons, meanwhile, was a crippled Nate Crowley (RPS successful peace) mostly dug, but did privation had been a spot much weird and Minecrafty.

"It's a robust portion of plan that you could good see a triumph, fixed conscionable however galore ways successful which the conception of an ARPG based connected a operation crippled improvement could person ended successful disaster," helium wrote successful our Minecraft Dungeons review. "And I'm assured successful recommending it arsenic worthy its terms to adjacent the astir jaded click-stabber, particularly 1 with adjacent a passing familiarity with Minecraft. But the information it's been executed truthful competently leaves maine wishing the developers had been a spot much reckless, frankly. A spot much experimental, successful adapting its genitor spot to an alien genre. Because portion the results mightiness person been profoundly weird, it's weird things - similar Minecraft itself was, erstwhile it archetypal appeared - that alteration the scenery of gaming."
