Minecraft Dungeons II: Everything We Know So Far
Every officially confirmed detail about Minecraft Dungeons II in one place — release date, platforms, gameplay changes and what remains unannounced.
Minecraft Dungeons II launches September 29, 2026 on five platforms, day one on Xbox Game Pass. It splits armor into four pieces, adds talismans, and adds a jump ability.
OfficialMinecraft Dungeons II is a top-down hack-and-slash action RPG developed by Mojang Studios in collaboration with Double Eleven. It is a direct sequel to 2020's Minecraft Dungeons, continuing that game's story with a new large-scale threat connected to the Deep Dark and Ancient Cities.
Up to four players explore dungeons, fight mobs and collect loot, solo or in co-op. The core loop carries over from the original, but the equipment system has been restructured: armor becomes four individual pieces rather than one set, and talismans arrive as an entirely new passive-effect category.
This page is the hub for everything confirmed. Where Mojang has not made a statement, we say so rather than filling the gap with an estimate drawn from the first game.
