September 29, 2026 puts the sword back in Minecraft’s co-op crawler — at thirty bucks
Minecraft Dungeons II ships Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Drop the pickaxe fantasy: this is Mojang and Double Eleven’s action-RPG sequel to the 2020 dungeon crawler — new lands, a dual-world crisis, explosive mob fights, and four-player hangout energy under Xbox Game Studios.
Pre-orders are live at $29.99 Standard / $49.99 Deluxe. Early buyers often get Twisted cape and chicken pet bonuses — check the storefront listing before you assume the same SKU on every platform.
Confirmed: Dungeons II — not Legends, not vanilla Minecraft, not the movie
Confirmed: isometric ARPG sequel, Sept 29 2026, multiplat including both Switch generations, Game Pass day one on Xbox/PC, Play Anywhere on Microsoft Store. Not confirmed as “Minecraft 2,” a survival update, or anything to do with A Minecraft Movie showtimes. Legends was the RTS side quest; this page is the loot-run lineage.

Before September 29 — pick a stack and a party size
- Decide Game Pass vs buy: Xbox/PC subscribers get day-one access; Switch and PS5 need a purchase.
- If you want Play Anywhere, buy on Microsoft Store — Steam is a separate PC license.
- Budget Deluxe only if you want the announced DLC pair and cosmetics; Standard is the $29.99 floor.
- Recruit up to three friends for four-player co-op, or plan a couch run on Switch/Xbox.
- Do not confuse this countdown with Minecraft Legends patches or vanilla snapshot notes.
It launches on Switch and Switch 2 the same day — still priced like a side game
Most 2026 sequels pick one Nintendo generation or charge full AAA. Dungeons II lists both Switch and Switch 2 for September 29 at a $29.99 Standard sticker — closer to the original Dungeons economics than to a $70 prestige drop.
That dual-SKU + Game Pass sandwich is the real calendar quirk: kids on last-gen Switch, households on Switch 2, and Xbox subscribers can all hit the same Tuesday without waiting for a staggered port window.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Minecraft Dungeons II launch?
September 29, 2026 worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam + Microsoft Store). Xbox Wire and Steam locked the Tuesday after a fall 2026 window reveal earlier in the year.
2How much does it cost, and is it on Game Pass?
Standard Edition is $29.99. Deluxe is $49.99 and bundles the Soul Cape, Blub pet, four extra hero skins, and two future DLC packs when they ship. On Xbox and PC Game Pass it is day-one; Xbox Play Anywhere covers console + PC from one Microsoft Store purchase.
3Is this Minecraft, Legends, or a movie tie-in?
None of those. It is the sequel to the 2020 isometric dungeon crawler Minecraft Dungeons — co-op loot runs through Minecraft-flavored worlds, not creative/survival block building, not the 2023 strategy spin-off Legends, and not the theatrical Minecraft film.
4Who is developing it, and how many players?
Mojang Studios and Double Eleven under Xbox Game Studios. You can run missions solo or with up to four players in online or couch co-op — the same party size DNA as the first Dungeons, rebuilt for tougher encounters across two worlds.
