Where and when to play
Xbox announced the first public Dungeons II hands-on for gamescom, August 26–30 in Cologne. Find it in Hall 7, booth A-0.61, roughly a month before the September 29 release.
Earlier previews came through Mojang and Xbox’s channels. The show-floor build gives visitors their first chance to play the sequel themselves.
What Xbox says about the demo
Xbox’s demo description highlights tougher enemies, loot and playing with a friend. It does not identify the mission, biome or campaign section available in the demo.
A playable build may reveal more equipment details, but the programme announcement does not promise specific item names or unrestricted loadouts.
