It’s never been a better time to be a fan of Minecraft. Minecraft Dungeons 2, hailed as the “next chapter” of the treasure-stuffed action RPG, was just announced, and it looks like it’ll be just as jam-packed with loot and monsters as its predecessor.
The news was revealed during Minecraft developer Mojang’s very first Minecraft Live of 2026, an event showcasing what fans can expect in the upcoming year. Although several announcements were made about future updates to the original Minecraft, the biggest news was undoubtedly Minecraft Dungeons 2. The new game will serve as a sequel to the 2020 original.
Minecraft Dungeons 2 will be a linear adventure that doesn’t include the open-world, mining, or building aspects of Minecraft. Instead, Dungeons is styled as a dungeon crawler in which players (either alone or with friends via local and online multiplayer) fight randomly generated monsters, solve puzzles, and make their way to the dungeon’s end to find the all-important treasure. It feels very Dungeons & Dragons, doesn’t it?
