Minecraft Dungeons 2 joins every other game avoiding GTA 6 in releasing in September
No sign of Jack Black though...
Mojang has announced that Minecraft Dungeons 2 will be joining the ever-growing pile of late September releases.
Being announced earlier this year at Minecraft Live 2026, Minecraft Dungeons 2 follows-up the 2020 dungeon crawler with a new game for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. And now we've got our first proper look at the game with a sleek new trailer that feels like the closest thing to a Minecraft anime that we'll ever get as we see our cuboid warriors take on the usual roster of enemies.
We also got an actual look at gameplay, with the game looking a lot better than its predecessor, both visually, and in terms of the action on screen. The trailer also ended with a teaser of something to come, with a portal opening in front of a zombie. Howeveer, we didn't get a look at anything coming out of it, but I choose to believe it's going to be Jack Black.
However, good luck getting time to play it, as it's releasing on September 29, 2026. So unless you're not interested in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Ace Combat 8, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant and the 500 other games coming out in September and October, you may be busy when it releases.
Unfortunately for Microsoft and Mojang, this release date wasn't exactly a surprise, as the Nintendo eShop accidentally spilled the beans earlier this week. The Switch 2 version of the game appeared on the store, with the September 29 release date, and a $29.99 pricepoint being included in the leak.
Spyro: A Realm Beyond is the series' first all-new game in 18 years, and it's launching next year
