Minecraft, the globally celebrated sandbox title developed by Mojang Studios, has officially released its latest downloadable content—the How to Train Your Dragon DLC—on Nintendo Switch.
This eagerly anticipated collaboration brings together two powerhouse franchises, integrating the beloved world of DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon into the creative expanse of Minecraft, and arrives just in time to coincide with the upcoming live-action adaptation of the animated classic.
The new add-on allows players to experience iconic features from the How to Train Your Dragon universe right within their Minecraft worlds.
Fans can fly alongside Toothless and an array of familiar dragons, embracing the role of a dragon rider as they embark on aerial adventures, learn the unique traits of each dragon, and forge strong bonds to unlock special abilities.
The How to Train Your Dragon DLC supports both single-player and multiplayer play, giving individuals and groups of friends the chance to explore Berk, conquer missions, and customize their experiences together.
"This collaboration with Minecraft allows fans to step into the skies of Berk like never before," Mojang Studios stated, emphasizing the DLC's focus on player agency, exploration, and connection with the series' charismatic dragons.
"Players will deepen their understanding of each dragon's personality and powers through hands-on interaction and immersive gameplay."
Furthermore, Minecraft enthusiasts have another reason to celebrate: the Hiccup’s Viking Helmet cosmetic is now available for free in the Dressing Room on all platforms.
This commemorative item allows players to showcase their excitement for the new expansion and the broader How to Train Your Dragon universe.
The How to Train Your Dragon DLC can be found on the Nintendo eShop and is part of Mojang’s ongoing strategy to support and expand Minecraft through high-profile collaborations.
