Mojang Studios is taking another stab at making its own Diablo rival set in the beloved, blocky world of Minecraft.
The company announced Minecraft Dungeons 2 last night at Minecraft Live 2026 with a pretty brief but cool trailer down below. The loot-filled action-RPG is coming sometime later this year on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 - despite appearing on the OG Switch, it's worth noting that a PS4 or Xbox One version doesn't seem to be on the cards.
Details about the sequel are scarce, but the original game was a surprisingly great and approachable take on Diablo's formula. It was essentially a top-down co-op ARPG that would have you clicking on enemies and buildcrafting until your pupils shriveled up, and what it lacked in Diablo-flavored depth it made up for by being a perfect introduction to the subgenre for younger gamers.
"A hero's work is never done! Disorder is brewing, and the world stands before a threat unlike any other," Minecraft Dungeons 2's Steam page says. "A new danger is growing in power, ready to descend upon the land and unleash mayhem." The storefront listing also promises more "high‑stakes encounters, thrilling challenges, and never‑before‑seen locations, as you set out to save a world in crisis."
A press release tells us that, yes, "there will also be loot," in case you needed a reminder on what these types of games are all about. "Loads of it. Grab it all, or share with up to three friends as you co-operate to save a world in crisis."
The first Minecraft Dungeons was a massive success, courting over 25 million players by April 2024. That makes it the most successful Minecraft spin-off games yet.
